Hello everyone :)

I need your help with this one :

Body length was 20 mm av. I found it in Chandolas (France, Ardèche) on 9.VI.2007.

As far as I can tell, this should be some Dasypogoninae.
I first thought it was some Dasypogon, but yellow markings on the thorax side (episternum ?) make me doubtful...

Can anyone tell me ?

I'd say Molobratia teutonus. ;)

Thanks, Stéphane !

No other species for this genus according to Fauna Europaea : you're probably right...
...and I surely was wrong ! ;)

(depuis quand tu fais dans les Asilidae, toi ? ;) )
