A dipteran of the Bombyliidae family . It is one of three species of this genus found on the Iberian Peninsula. The only one I've seen to date. Found in the Cuenca region.
It is small and very fragile in appearance, resembling a mosquito. It has large, sandy-colored eyes with dark areas near the forehead. It has a long proboscis, from which the antennae emerge, close together except for the last segment, where they separate. The rest of the proboscis has a coloration of varying shades of brown. These form three dark brown longitudinal bands on the back of the thorax and two interspersed grayish lines. The abdomen is brown with a darker longitudinal line, and the sides of each tergite are grayish.
Their larvae are parasitoids of other insects.
