Strong dorsal antennal tooth, third antennal segment clearly orange and abdominal triangles are short, so it looks like a male sudeticus to me. Upper facets in eye should be strongly enlarged in that case. Theo |

Thank you Theo! Trying hard to see myself what you explained, I went back to the place where I had found the Tabanus. It was there. It is 14?C here and first I thought it was sleeping, but it was partly eaten. Unfortunately the Antennae are broken. But the eyes show facets of different size With regards from Switzerland Maja dipdip attached the following image:  [182.28Kb] Edited by dipdip on 12-06-2008 10:25 |

Yeap, clearly enlarged upper facets. SO no bovinus, but sudeticus. THeo |
