Just a nice Pangonius-type tabanid that will be "flying" to Theo sometime soon. French Guianan again and this one is about 18mm long in the body, excluding proboscis

Very nice. Not Pangonius, but Pangoniinae it is, though possibly not Pangoniini, need to look into this. Note that the last posterior cell is closed, an important feature in this group Th |

This is Scionini- Scione sp. The closed R5 and M3 cells are diagnostic for this genus in that tribe. I can't give you a species for French Guianan Scione but this one is a little more colorful than other Scione I have seen. Pangonius isn't in the neotropics but there are many pangoniine genera there. |

Wow - thanks for the partial ID Keith - that's amazing There have been several Pangoniini in the sample but none as large and well-marked as this one.

Whoops, the M3 cell is open, I was looking at CuA1. This is actually another Fidena (Fidena) sp. No wonder it was so colorful for a Scione. You can see more similarly colorful Fidena (but probably not this species) at this website by John Burger and InBio in Costa Rica: http://tinyurl.co....

Yes, nice website ... I couldn't see anything quite the same as my one here but that's not unexpected. Lots of good work going in Costa Rica
