Hello, I photographed this fly in Sant'Anna di Vinadio (CN), Italy, 2250m a.s.l. on August 19th 2024. I think it is an Atylotus, but is it possible to identify its species based on these photos? Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image:  [296.69Kb] Edited by ESant on 23-11-2024 11:09 |

I think it's a female Atylotus loewianus.

Females are very tricky. On the second pic, it is "clearly" fulvus, the third suggests loewianus.... Theo |

The calli on the 2nd pic pretend to be smaller than they are - due to the angle, I think.

Yes, I know. Don't rely on calli (in Atylotus), it is more a trend than a feature. Theo |
