 Cyprus, April 2010, stream bed with pebbles and boulders.
Several males and females seen taking moisture from water's edge.

no hairs on eyes, broad frons, one eye band, so Tabanus leleani ?

 The female made me think of unifasciatus, but the notopleurae are yellowish, strongly suggesting leleani.
The male has large facets and therefore cannot be unifasciatus.

So I agree: leleani

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
