Hello ! Is it a Exoprosopa sp. from the family Bombyliidae? I have got some problem with the determination. The habitat is sandy meadow in NW-Hungary. jaurinum attached the following image:  [193.73Kb] Edited by jaurinum on 19-09-2008 20:09 |

When I return to Hungary I try to look at the Hungarian literature on Bombyliidae. This is not one of the common Bombyliids of Hungary. I certainly had not seen anything similar in Hungary. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

As an idea could this be the male? of Exoprosopa dispar Loew 1869? This is supposed to be a rare species. According to my literature (Fauna Hungariae, Bombyliidae, Toth) only a single specimen has ever been collected in Hungary from the Transdanubian region.

Well, if it really this species, the observation is important for the hungarian Bombyliidae fauna. |

At this week I showed this photo to the author of the Fauna Hungariae, Bombyliidae. In his opinion, it is Exoprosopa dispar, a female, for sure. |
