Hello Forum,
this happy couple was discussed in the German forum on www.entomologie.de, and the provisional result was "Conopidae, Dalmannia, possibly flavescens". The owner of the pics ("Gabi" ) has agreed that these are shown here in this forum. Any comments?
Found 11. March 2007 in the Kaiserstuhl region (SW-Germany, a rather warm region).
Cheers - martin

Female with ovipositor --> Dalmannia is correct

The couple keys out to
Dalmannia dorsalis (Fabr.) in Chv?la (1965) (also his description fits well) and to
D. flavescens (Mg.) in the online-keys by van Veen. According to Chv?la (l.c.) both
Myopa flavescens MEIGEN, 1824 and
Dalmannia flavescens ROBINEAU-DESVOIDY, 1830 are Synonyms of
Dalmannia dorsalis (FABRICIUS, 1794)

It was the van Veen online key that made me suggest
flavescens. The German Checklist (1999) is in accordance with Chvala and mentions
flavescens as a synonym of
dorsalis.
So I'm going to call this
Dalmannia dorsalis .
Thanks for helping! - martin
