And finally I found of these large Tabanids a victim of a hit and run car accident allowing this rather mediocre picture. When you see them flying (or hear them just flying around you) they are very impressive; at close range slightly less, though it remains a sizable fly. I know the distinction in females is tough, so will it remain indeterminate? Jura, Mesnois ca 400 m altitiude.

Neither. It is T. eggeri: antennae black, first posterior cell strongly narrowed. Rather far to the north ! Theo |

Thanks for disconfirming... Is eggeri indeed smaller dan bromius/sudeticus? That would explain my disappointment about its size! Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |
