Hi,

another Tabanus with slight greenish eyes, so maybe Tabanus sudeticus?

Found: Germany, Niedersachsen, Göttigen, Emmeberg, on wood in forrest, 270msm, 12.06.2011

Thanks again, Christian

Tabanus sudeticus is over 2 cm length and withoud any eyeband. Your animal has one eyeband, if I see well. In this case, it is probably T. bromius.

Hi Libor (again),

thanks for the correction. Of course, I didn't consider the size, which might have be only 12-15 mm. So T. bromius fit much better. Unfortunatly, I haven't any better pic of the eyes.

Greetings, Christian
