Medium size asilid (about 10mm), found yesterday in Portugal, near the coast. No idea of the species. Thanks, Joaquim Gaspar Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [86.69Kb] |

Are you sure about the size? Did you collect the animal? I think this is Machimus nevadensis or maybe M concinnus. Used key by EO Engel both species are known from Spain. Maybe a local expert will know more....

That is not nice to shoot them!  But maybe youve got more pictures then?
