This Monegros is getting more and more interesting ! Could you give some coordinates, google finds several. In any case, as said, this one is special since it is a Tabanus with an appendix to the bend in vein R. It is not T. nemoralis, since the eyes are bare. It seems to be in the sabuletorum-group, from which only 1 species is known in Spain: T. albifrons. I have never seen this species, but it is consistent, including the very long hairs on vertex. T. albifrons is a species from North Africa, reported from only one locality in Spain: Gallocanta in Zaragoza. Apparently similar conditions as in Monegros !! So, the usual final remarks: get the female (unmistakable !), start collection and so on. And keep up the good work Theo |

Today at the same place, a few females only. Could be the same species?
