Great pic. Do you use Automontage or combineZ?

The species is some Voriini, in my world (the old one) it would be Athrycia.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Theo, and yes helpful. Narrows it down from the several hundred spp. that probably occur here. One ref. says just 1 widespread sp. in NA
Athrycia cinerea

I checked the key in the manual (I'm so not New World that I even forgot I had a fotocopy) and indeed it keys out to Athrycia cinerea.
Only species in Athrycia in the Nearctic, so that is easy.

Thanks Theo. I love these New World genera that have only 1 species. But of course only for non-tabanid groups. For the latter, the more the merrier.

I think this is
Cyrtophleba nitida. The anepimeral bristle is not very long and the eyes are haired.

Totally missed that the first time.
