I can not place it with confidence in the key by F. C. do Val (1976) but it might be the common species Pantophthalmus tabaninus.

There is a 1992 review of the Mesoamerican species, a book chapter which is not free online.

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
