Hello hello !
I have some issues with this Bombyliidae, I started by looking at smooth and glabrous looking Bombylius sp. but since they seem to loose their hair when drying, I used the Mark Van Veen key and I end up on Bombylius cinerascens but that's not satisfying at all.
Here are the criterias I saw : 7mm, black halter heads, black femoras.

Locality : France, Maurecourt (78382, Northern half of france).





Also, when I was looking for the 2-3 black bristles at the beginning of the wings, I spotted this weird looking fork. What could it be ?


Thanks already for your help :)

Hi LeCrapoutch, for me B. cinerascens looks good:
Femora black, bristles at base of the wings black, vein R-M in middle of discalcell, and brownish yellow hair, long tongue, wings without spots and no black hairs behind the eyes (Veldtabel wolzwevers, J.T. Smit)

Greetings, Eric
