Last summer I saw various Robberflies in Switzerland, Tessin. I wonder whether this one can be IDed tot genus level (or below!).

This was a rather smallish species, much smaller than Machimus and Laphria also flying there, especially more slender.

I'm not sure the male and female are the same species.

Habitat: confirous forest with meadows. This Roberfly was common on foot tracks in the forest, resting on stones.

Hello,

picture three shows a male Neoitamus, probably N. cyanurus.

Do you have a much bigger detail of the genitalia of the male on picture two and maybe a little bit more lightened?

Thanks for the input!

I looked whether I have something as you requested, this is the best I could make of it.

Since this must be a male (I hadn't notices that yet...) it must be a different species!

Here's a much better photo, other date but I'm quite sure same species (same location).

Hello,

nice picture. I think it is Neomochtherus melanopus (former Paritamus melanopus). Genitalia are quite well to see in this lateral view. The females above should also be N. melanopus.

Thanks a lot Danny, one more IDed! I will come up with some others in due time...
