Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Female Dasypogon ?

Hello,

Seen in Savoy (France), 2007/7/27, 1750 m above sea.

It seems me that the general form is a Dasypogon sp., female (red femora).

Is this correct? Is it possible to choose between D. atratus and D. diadema (the two of the French fauna)?

Another picture.

The abdomen shape and the coulour make me think that it isn't Dasypogon.

Isidro,

And how would you call it?

No. this is not Dasypogon, by sure. ;)

However, I don?t know which genus it can be. :(

Because of the shiny tergites it seems to be a species of Stilpnogaster. Yours
