Dicropaltum "alamosae" -

a very interesting little robber fly. Species name is in quotes because may be a synonym of the more widespread D. mesae; this group needs lots of additional study!

Dicropaltum;

Your most welcome Edward. Yes, an image or two of a male would be great. Also, if it would be possible to bring the tip of the antenna into clearer focus, that would help add taxanomic info. Dicropaltum are uncommon in collections, and your photos are the first good ones available of the genus that I know of. Excellent work!
