These two Tabanidae were photographed this summer in Sulina, Romania (Danube delta).
Are they iD'able? (I've collected a few, so I can send to whoever is interested)

The female (upper one) is Hybomitra ciureai, no doubt.
Often found along greater rivers
The male was very big (18 mm plus), is that correct ?
Looks like Tabanus spodopterus or similar species (I cannot rule out prometheus).

Thank you very much. The male was indeed quite large.
Are you interested in the collected specimens at all?
