 Hello,

this tabanidae ist from last july from switzerland. It was about 15mm long. Can it be identified? Perhaps genus Hybomitra?

Thanks,
Michael

 Yes, it is a male Hybomitra, most likely aterrima or caucasica.

IF this is it,(no more pictures ?) ......

 Hello Theo,

Thank you for your answer. I have some more pictures from slightly different perspectives. What do you need?

 More lateral of the head

More dorsal of the abdomen


That might help

 Pity we can't see the palps (which are short in males), but given the lack of darkening on the wing I'm pretty sure (though not dead sure) that it is caucasica

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
