Furthermore there seems to be no pollinosity on the scutum (dark-orange in C. asilica). Pilosity on thorax and abdomen seems nearly evenly long (in C. asilica clearly shorter on abdomen). Tergite I and II seem entirely black (in C. asilica and C pachymera pollinose to yellow coloured). So based on this it is Brachypalpus of which there are 3 or 4 options. B chrysites is much more orange yellow pilose on tergites II-V, and frons only narrowly pollinose along eye margin B. laphriformis most often has yellow colour on tergite I and lateral sides of tergite II and abdominal pile slightly shorter than on thorax. conclusion it seems B. valgus, or option 4 an undescribed species. ps I do not know Brachypalpus zugmayeriae, but this is a Caucasian species so not very likely to occur in Algeria.
