Bited Dima early morning on the beach.
Antalia, 9-10 mm, 01 okt.

It's not a Hybomitra (no ocellar tubercle). I thought at first this might be a female Tabanus glaucopis, but it seems a bit small, so could be one of the other species in this group, like T. fraseri.

This is the female of T. obsolescens (see male)

Theo - My literature on Eastern European tabanids is limited (and out-of-date!). Did Chvala et al get obsolescens and fraseri mixed up? Their descriptions and figures would suggest that this is fraseri. I'm confused.

Thank you Tony and Theo. After two month without Tabanidae I've forget who is who (Tabanus/Hybomytra)

Well, near Moscow eyes with 3 bands = Hybomitra, but not in Turkey !
The eyes are bare, not hairy, which is hardly ever so in Hybomitra.

So, Hybomitra has, as a rule, hairy eyes and 3 bands.

Thank you Theo.
