I found this robberfly in Switzerland, Hasliberg (Berner Oberland) at ca 1000 m altitude. Habitat: small group of bushes between mown grass lands.
In view of the ovipositor, it must be
Neoitamus. Stubbs & Drake mention the difficulties of separating
cothurnatus from
cyanurus. I think my photo shows yellow bristles on the front tibia, indicative of cothurnatus.
Is my ID correct?
