I photographed a number of flies which were attreackted to my light installation with HPL bulbs. Suriname, Brokopondo, Brownsberg plateau (about 500m asl). Night of 23-XI-2015. Is this really a Tabanidae? Could someone give a more precise ID? Thanks! Auke attached the following image:  [165.97Kb] Edited by Auke on 05-12-2015 15:27 Your invert guide in Suriname. |

Definitely Pantophthalmidae - nice find  Does it have hairy eyes? Did you take a specimen?

No hairy eyes as far as I can see. I'll include the best head shot I got in uncompressed form. No specimen taken as I have no permit for collecting flies. See also this topic. Auke attached the following image:  [67.09Kb] Edited by Auke on 03-12-2015 21:51 Your invert guide in Suriname. |
