It is Xylophagus, but I need to work on the species. Looks like female compeditus. Theo |

Yes it is ater / compeditus. As you know, these is a quarrel on the correct name (see Stubbs). Theo |

Hello Konrad & Theo, Actually Chandler 1998 cleared up the confusion about the correct name: it is Xylophagus ater Meigen, 1804. An online identification key to species is available here: http://www.online...p?key_no=3 Greetings, Ectemnius |
