Thanks.. The genus is Thriambeutes, in the tribe Rhinomyzini. Those are the "weirdoos" of the Tabanidae. Although the life history of this species is not known, the long ovipositor suggests that the larvae live in rotholes in trees, as in many other Rhinomyzini. Theo |

Congratulations, Theo!! There are no words enough to thank you for taking the time to ID our flies (with the additional difficulty of doing it from photos) during all these years! And thanks for showing the new beauty!! |
