Moved from Pantarbes.

Is there a key for species of this genus?
If not what sources do you use for info on them? I can't find anything on the genus.

 
Yes,
But not available online as far as I know. This one is a pest to determine, haven't made progress. Don't think photos will do.

Glorious!
Hartmut, I can still vividly recall when you shared a few of these amazing Red Rock Pantarbes images with me via e-mail last year. Very glad to see that you've uploaded some of them so that the rest of the BugGuide community can now enjoy these very special looking bee flies!
