Should be Cydistomyia colasbelcouri Mackerras & Rageau 1958. Quoting Burger (1995): "This striking ochre and black-colored species is so distinctive, it cannot be confused with any other Cydistomyia species from New Caledonia. According to Mackerras and Rageau (1958), it is similar to Cydistomyia (C.) imitans Oldroyd from New Guinea. The ochre thorax, black abdomen and legs, and black wings with hyaline apex and posterior margin will easily distinguish it. C. colasbelcouri has been collected only in January and February in the southern half of the island." Burger, J.F. 1995. The Tabanidae (Diptera) of New Caledonia. Bishop Mus. Occas. Pap. 44, 56 p. http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/pubs-online/pdf/op44.pdf Mackerras, I.M. & J. Rageau 1958. Tabanidae (Diptera) du Pacifique Sud. Ann. Parasitol. Hum. Comp. 33: 671-742.
