I have never seen this beautiful species but it is sufficienty distinctive to get somewhere just from the literature. I believe this to be Exoprosopa rutila, but this assumes that there are no closely similar species. |

Thanks David! On Italian Check list I find http://www.faunaitalia.it/checklist/invertebrates/families/Bombyliidae.html Exoprosopa rutila (Wiedemann, 1818), but on faunaeur http://www.faunaeur.org/full_results.php?id=130095 Exoprosopa rutilla (Pallas & Wiedemann 1818). Which is the right name? Anyway this specie occurs in Sardinia! Thanks again, Daniele
