This Tabanidae was flying at the window where it was collected Locality: Iberian peninsula: Catalonia: Girona province: Beuda: 31T DG77: 395 masl Date: 28/06/2014 Habitat: Inside house in an stone oak wood + crops environment Sex: Female Size: 17.5 mm It has three bands on eyes when hydrated The problem is that using Fauna Iberica keys (Portillo-Rubio, 2002), the frontal index should be 1:6, and my measurements are about 1:4* (measured again in 2016, the frontal index is 102/19=5.4) Thanks in advance, Rafael PD. A month later another Tabanus was seen on similar conditions: [url]http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=62353[url] rafael_carbonell attached the following image:  [157.55Kb] Edited by rafael_carbonell on 14-03-2016 23:16 |

I think no other similar Tabanus with three eyebands lives in Europe, so for me your ID is correct. Libor |
