Hi,
I'm trying to attribute the pictures in vivo i took from Tabanid to the one's i have in collection.
So for this one: i caught a specimen from this place, but the one i caught is a
male. Still, it really look like a spodopterus. Do you think it could be his female?

I would need to see the legs and a frontal of the head.
Does the male has enlarged upper facets in the eye ?

You confirmed the male [u=http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=59796]here[/u] :)
For the pictures, well, that's one of the main problem: i don't have any frontal view... that's why i was referring to you.
Here are legs:
And here is the best pic' for the head...

I cannot be sure, but this might actually be T. spodopteroides female.
