This is by official couting my 10.000th post on this forum.
To celebrate, I post a most stunning beauty horsefly from Madagascar.
A species new to science, to be published this year.

Enjoy

Theo

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.

Congratulations, Theo!! Smile

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!! Smile

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
