Bee fly: Exechohypopion
Identified as Exechohypopion on Bowerbird by Tony D.: "Lovely looking beefly. Exechohypopion were until recently placed in Villa. The former is said to have a bulging face (which appears the case here) whereas the face is only slightly produced in the latter."
Suburban bee fly - Exechohypopion - thank you Tony
Identified as Exechohypopion on Bowerbird by Tony D.: "Great series Carol! I reckon you're right with Villa in the usual sense, though Evenhuis (1995) created Exechohypopion that on external features is distinguished from Villa by the face being noticeably produced (in lateral view) and foretibiae not spiculate beneath. Thus it's great to have the lateral view here showing a bulging face so have placed it in Exechohypopion. In Villa the face is at most slightly bulging and the foretibiae spined beneath."
