I found this male species on La Gomera (Canary islands), Palmarejo. 02-03-2022.
There are 2 species in the 2009 list that occur on la Gomera.
Tolmerus fuscus and
Tolmerus antennatus
But I don't have any description of these 2 species so I've problems with the ID.
Any help is welcome ...
Best regards

Hi Johan,
Have you tried this key? There are both descriptions of T. fuscus and T. antennatus. Hradský, Milan & Bosak, Jaroslav. (2006). Distribution of some species of robberflies (Diptera, asilidae) in the Canary Islands, and description of three new species of genus Tolmerus Loew, 1849.. Čas. Slez. Muz. Opava (A). 55. 135-145.
Best, Jonne

Hi Jonne,
Thank you for the key.
I couldn't get out with the key :|
I read also all the descriptions and my best guess will be
Tolmerus oromii but I'm not sure.
Best regards
