Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tabanidae, which Hybomitra?
#1
Hello! This was found by Gődény Csaba is Hungary, recently. Am I right, if i got Hybomitra lundbecki female to this one? Third antennal segment is very wide and orange. And the lower spot in the frons is large, blackish and shining. Could you help me please? What do you think about this one?

No, it is in bimaculata group: solistitialis Meigen ( = ciuriae sensu Lyneborg, check my book for details). Commion in Hungary along rivers.

Thank you! The only thing what I don’t understand is the 1. segment of the antenna. About my key, it has to be conspiciously gray dusted, and the 1. antennal segment is brown. I think in this specimen that segment is rather orange. Could you help me please in this? But I will check it, I have your book “Flied with three pulvilli”.

Om second thoughts, is the eye really hairy ??

Yes, the eyes are hairy but just a little bit.

That is very weird indeed, but I do see an ocellar tubercl3, so Hybomitra (solsttialis) should be OK. Sorry cor the confusion.
