Hochfelln, ~1660m asl, coordinates 47.76215, 12.55936 Rupert Huber attached the following image:  [162.05Kb] Edited by Rupert Huber on 24-07-2022 17:51 Best greetings Rupert |

Yes , but for males there is this important additional feature: upper facets strongly enlarged in sudeticus, not or hardly so in bovinus. Bovinus has become a rarity, these days, in western Europe. In other words: wait for 4-6 wweks and by the English version of the book !! Theo |

Sure I will buy it, no question. I hope, most of the Bavarian Tabanidae and Stratiomyidae will be in it, too, although it's not northwest Europe.
