My father sent me this image of a Tabanidae taken in Eucla, Western Australia. It has quite a hemispherical head and the eyes are straight across at the back, the body is quite wide and parallel sided, greyish with yellow bands on the apical edge of each tergite, the wings are clear and there is a spur on R4. This made me wonder about Atylotus, but the Bishops Museum catalogue does not list this genus for Australia. In addition, although the antennae are wholly orange except for a bit of darkening on the flagellomere tip, they are very long and the eyes are a very bright green, which does not seem to fit the usual descriptions of Atylotus. I think the eyes might be very sparsely hairy and there is perhaps one dark eyeband, but the photo is not really at the right angle to be certain.

Does anyone have any thoughts?
