..south/east Germany, 04-06
up to now we were just hunted by a bunch of Tabanus sudeticus (unluckily without picture), then this one came along:

some 15mm of body length, general look really rhagio-like, eyes without stripes, typical light stripes on thorax,whitish tergites with shiny black stripes.
cannot make anything out of it...thanks for any help, Chris

edit: not Tabanidae...but Therevidae

edit: I found this online key for Therevidae here: http://home.hccnet.nl/mp.van.veen/therevidae/therevidae.html

...and this is possible, isn't it...under "female" :

...21.a. Tergite 2-4: the black frontal band reaches the hind margin in the middle, separating the grey dust band in two. 10.5-13 mm. -> Thereva microcephala Loew

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
