Yes, it is holiday season !

First impression might be Poeciloderas from the neotropics.

Thanks a lot! Looking for Poeciloderas I saw an image of Tabanus sulcifrons that looks like very similar to me, it could be?

Abdominal pattern looks totally different to me.
In any case, the first antennal segment in lateral view separates the genera.

BY the way, what do you mean with 'no READABLE location' ? So it is labelled ? Start talking to the owner / guardian of the collection and try to establish whose writing it might be. For instance, if it is Strobl's, neotropics is unlikely.

GrinGrin do you think seriously that one can write to the staff of a very big natural history museum for ask about the tag of one of the thousands of insects exposed that probably nobody in the staff would know even how to locate the box that contain it in the exhibit?

If they were a dino skeleton or a hooved mammal mount, even a bird would be possible, but don't expect that for a horsefly Smile

P.S. no readable means that the only apparent writen tag in the photo (the small upper one) is totally hidden under the insect body and one would not be able to read it without opening the cage and extracting the specimen from it Smile And even doing this there is zero guarantee that this tag contain a location.

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
