Impressive. Does not seem to fit the description of
bovinus in Chvala et al. The Horse Flies of Europe.
Key characters:
lower frontal callus [1] broadest at base ... [2] vs. [3] broadest at middle ..
tinctus
[2] median abdominal triangles not reaching foregoing tergites
sudeticus
- triangle usually reaching foregoing tergites . .
bovinus
Note:
bovinus - antennae black, basal 2 segments and sometimes segment 3 brownish at base;
sudeticus - antennae segment 3 reddish-brown on basal part including dorsal tooth, apically blackish brown, antennal flagellar segments black.
