Medium size asilid (about 10mm), found yesterday in Portugal, near the coast. No idea of the species.

Thanks,
Joaquim Gaspar

Are you sure about the size? Did you collect the animal? I think this is Machimus nevadensis or maybe M concinnus. Used key by EO Engel both species are known from Spain. Maybe a local expert will know more....
