Most likely Tabanus maculicornis, might still be bromius. Theo |

Hi Theo Thanks again! Which detail do you need to see for separate Tabanus maculicornis from bromius? Is it possible to see the different details on pics which are taken in nature? There are more pics on my pc. Best Regards, Brigitte Edited by brigitteu on 10-01-2011 20:11 |

* a pic with the abdomen or thorax showing more natural colours, the first is unnaturally black-and-white (for a moment, I thought it was rectus !) * a really sharp pic of the frons, either from front, aside or above or * a blowup of the wing base, for instance from pic 1 above. Theo |

Yes for maculicornis ! you can see * onp ic 3 the bunch of black hairs beside the antennal base (if you know what to look for), nomen est omen ! * the very narrow alula in pic 4. So no doubt, but unusually black-and-white she is |

Very interesting! Thanks a lot Theo! This female was in the shadow - perhaps the reason because she seems more black and white. I do have a pic with more sunshine: there is definitely more brownish to see. Kind regards, Brigitte |

Well, that does not help, since maculicornis is very distinctively bluish - greyish, definitely not brownish.... Theo |
