Hello, this tabanidae ist from last july from switzerland. It was about 15mm long. Can it be identified? Perhaps genus Hybomitra? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [66.73Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 16-03-2011 05:50 |

Yes, it is a male Hybomitra, most likely aterrima or caucasica. IF this is it,(no more pictures ?) ...... Theo |

Pity we can't see the palps (which are short in males), but given the lack of darkening on the wing I'm pretty sure (though not dead sure) that it is caucasica Theo |
