A kind request to your friend: start collecting. There is no way anybody can tell a horsefly from New Caledonia by one shot (and believe me, on this field I might be in the top three of the world !). For one thing, because 25 % of the specimens collected turns out to be a spec.nov.. The horsefly diversity on New Caledonia is stunning ! Theo |

In my opinion, the narrow flagellum and shape of the callus look like the genus Chasmia to me. New Caledonian species are put in Chasmiella by Trojan, Chasmia by Burger. |
