I am confused. This Philipomyia was found near Sonega, Setúbal, SW Portugal on 27.082011. The antennae look closer to aprica than graeca to me but it was in lowlands (about 170 m altitud) in rural area. Could it be graeca? I have never heard of aprica at such low altitud. Any comment will be most welcome Wink Thanks in advance! :-)

Hello Piluca_Alvarez,

Philipomyia aprica has been caught even in the netherlands. Two males at Vlodrop, that can hardly be higher a.s.l. as your sighting. My first thought was Tabanus bovinus, but the green eyes? Has to be P. aprica...

Greetings,

Ectemnius

You are barking up the wrong tree: only Philipomyia rohdendorfi from the Caucasus has the antenna so dark.
It is Tabanus eggeri you are looking at, in my opinion.
You might check for setulae on the basicosta on the original pictures.

Or by chance any picture of the ventral side ?

Ectemnius, Theo, thanks a lot for your replies! Smile

So, it was Tabanus... Had it wrong from the basis awkward No wonder nothing seemed to fit Shock

Theo, I am afraid no ventral shot Sad But I am going to try to see those setulae on the basicosta. They might be there Wink

Thanks a lot again!! Smile

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
