I think this is Tabanus lineola Fabricius. There are other, similar species and I have not read all the literature.

Massachusetts, USA September 9, 2016. Near slow-moving fresh water, about 5 km from salt water.

Hi John

I have the literature, but it is a very tricky group. I will look into it.
No frontal shot ? Do you happen to know whether the subcallus was dusted or shiny black ?

Nothing shiny black on the front.

Better focus, worse light.

Yes, it seems to be the typical lineola.

Thank you. Is the condition of the subcallus normally the same in both sexes of Tabanus and Hybomitra?

Yes, it is.
IN some species , like Hybomitra nitidifrons and some of your Canadian ones, the condition of the subcallus is quite variable, however, not sexually dimorph.

Of course, the shape of the subcallus is slightly different, if you have males with big eyes like here.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
