Hello, this is an Asilidae from the north of Spain, on a river vegetation. żDoes anybody know the genus or the specie?
THANKS.

Seems like a Machimus/Tolmerus sp. to me.

I dont think that can be done from pictures. Usually Machimus are bigger with more setae on margin scutellum. Don't forget genus Neoepitriptus is also part of this group. I get the impression they are in between the others. Think difference B)is based on internal genital differences. Stll have to find that text.
