I have just received an email from Torsten, expert in Apioceridae: "Unfortunately I can't provide you with a name. There is a key to Apiocera from Australia from the 1950s, but I haven't studied enough species to feel confident to use images for the identification. There are currently some 67 Australian species described and probably many more are awaiting description." Apiocera genus has many species in Australia... just some are really possible to ID by photos.

However, I got the authorization from Farhan Bokhari to submit him photos for DI.
