 Tabanidae sp. observed at 2018-01-05 Colombia – Atlántico
Alt. > 500m
In flight it is able to hover like a Syrphidae.
Any suggestions regarding genus?

 The proboscis suggests Pangoniinae. Esenbeckia?

 Very nice picture, but difficult to identify, if you are not an expert in the Neotropical Tabanidae. There are many Pangoniinae genera in Colimbia, but it is clearly not Scionini, so something like Esenbeckia sounds possibly right.

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
