Hi, Here is a Tabanidae I found in Rhodopi mountains in Bulgaria. With its hairs on eyes, i first thought about Hybomitra, but it would lead me to H micans or H caucasica which seems unlikely. And then I noticed that Tabanus rupium fit really well with this specimen. What do you think?  clovis : Bulgarie : Zabardo : 4850 : 19/07/2013 Altitude : 1531 m - Taille : 14 mm environ Réf. : 156225 |

Well, i only have this picture of the specimen alive, and i don't remember how where the eyes (but i really think i would remember if there was 3 bands!). So i'd rather go on 0-1 band, that's why I think rûpium could fit. |

You can see the bands in dead specimen as well, if you look at the eye with a strong light on it and play with the light. Rupium has one incomplete band, a very distinctive feature. So, the tibiae are distinctly reddish at base, is that correct ? Theo |

Hum, playing with light and with faith i think there is a really incomplete band (but what i see cover max 1/8 go the eye.) Not 3 bands anyway. Not, femurs are all black, what we see is trochanters whose are partly read. Would you want me to make other pictures? |

Well, base of tibia 2 is red on base, but on a really small part (<1mm) Tibia: -tibia I is brown on basal half (paler anyway) -tibia II is read on a small basl part, and entirely brown -Tibia III is integrally black |
