Hello, Hoping to get an ID on this please? Photo attached. Could it be Machimus cingulatus? Found a couple of weeks ago Guernsey, Channel Islands. In coastal scrubland habitat. Cheers, Al al attached the following image:  [295.42Kb] |

Hi Al, I think Machimus (Tolmerus) cingulatus is correct. Resembling is M. cowini and difficult to distinguish but as we can see the posterior yellow stripe on forefemur it is most probably cingulatus. Roofvliegen van Nederland en België inclusief Denemarken en de Britse Eilanden, Reinoud van den Broek, André Schulten Wolff, Gebel, Geller-Grimm: Die Raubfliegen Deutschlands NB: it's better to place your queries for robberflies in the Asilidae forum to attract the experts.
