Microdon abditus
This is either Microdon abditus or M. globosus. The antennae are key to the identification (scape longer than flagellum in abditus, reversed in globosus). From what I can see in the photos it looks like abditus.

Maybe subgenus Microdon
Isn't this too black to be subgenus Dimeraspis? It doesn't seem to be as compact and squat as Dimeraspis either. I lean towards subgenus Microdon on this one.
