Hello, i found this nice tabanid on a marshy area (wet grassland). I think it belongs to the genus Haematopoda? Location: Braunschweig (Germany; Lower-Saxony); June 2011 Regards Stefan Skyfliege attached the following image:  [62.48Kb] |

Haematopota males are very difficult for me. Your animal is very probably H. pluvialis. Libor |

Hello Libor, thank you very much for your advice! I looked only on the females of H. pluvialis, but i unfortunately haven't thought that this could be a male. Best regards Stefan |

In all our Tabanids: eyes widely separated = females, eyes broadly touching = males. Libor |
