 female Tabanus bovinus, another good candidate --> probably T. sudeticus var. perplexus

Hi everyone! The amount of red colour at third antennal segment as seen on the first picture took me to T. sudeticus first, but: - The tooth on this segment looks more like a knob. - On the other pictures the red doesn't appear like being on more than the (maybe extended) base of the segment. - The triangles on the abdomen are clearly concave. - The eyes look greenish from different perspectives, so that an optical effect is not very probable. Unfortunately no ventral view, it flew away before I could catch it. Size fits for both T. bovinus and T. sudeticus 10.6.2025, Germany, Upper Bavaria, Ainringer Moos 5 km west of Salzburg, 430 m a.s.l., coordinates 47.82969,12.92850 Rupert Huber attached the following image:  [203.21Kb] Edited by Rupert Huber on 22-06-2025 16:26 Best greetings Rupert |

Difficult. Eye colouration supports bovinus, habitat sudeticus. Could still be a abb. Perplexus Theo |

Thanks, Theo, for all your answers! How about the shape of the antennal tooth and the concave triangles on the abdomen? I think the habitat should be no problem there. There are meadows a few flight seconds in all directions and also a lot of cattle farming. And a soil full of limestone, too. Best greetings Rupert |

Dorsal trianglrs are one way feature If small with straight border, most certainly sudeticus If not, inconclusive If this would be bovinus, it is extremely datk. To be honest, 3xcept for eye colouration, this one cries "perplexus" all over to me Thro |

Ok, thanks! I'll buy me a net now to get the ventral views. :-)
