Re: Anthidium or Afranthidium sp. (wool carder bee) - I'm to enter it as highlighted, correct?

I think so

Are the previous entries in the AW book for Mythicomyiidae correct?

perhaps also Apolysis, I have to think



The Cephalodromia is correct.

Can you give us a larger photo please for the Apolysis?

I can crop them further if needed, but since they are so tiny, "noise" starts to creep into the pic.

[Klipspringer]

Great Can you do also make a larger one of the last photo from here (very clear wing venation there and R4+5 are branched, which makes it Bombyliidae)
