I saw this robberfly at an altitude of ca. 1900 m, Passo de Lucomagno in Tessin. It flies at the same site as where I found Cyrtopogon ruficornis, in half open coniferous forest. I guess it is a Dioctria, but which one? Medium sized, say 12 - 14 mm. This must be the female, since I saw her ovipositing in the tree stub she's resting on.
