Hello,
France, Sondersdorf, F68480, 468m, 11.07.2010
Using the key Baldacchino (d’après Chvála et al. 1972) I found out Tabanus. After, unfortunately I’m blocked on point 20 where the white parts on abdomena points to 21
21 could match for T. rectus or T. autumnalis but it seems that they have black antennas.
Any idea?

So, you went wrong. It is not a “large” species.

What about eye band ?
Are there longer white hairs present behind the eyes ?
What about habitat ?

No eye band
Behind the eyes only short white-yellowish hairs
Near a small lake.

Please, have a very close look for the eye band. The specimen is daed for > 1/2 year, so it is difficult to see.
I can see the hairs on occiput, I am pretty sure.

If there is really no eye band, it is T. miki.

Difficult to be sure, but certainly looks like miki.

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

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
