As already said in other posts, the difference between P. aprica and P. graeca is not so easy to detect. In this case I'd opt for P. graeca, obviously a female, but I have no solid evidence for it. |

Hi Alex, with reference to: KEY TO THE HORSE FLIES FAUNA OF CROATIA (DIPTERA, TABANIDAE) Stjepan Krčmar, Davorka K. Hackenberger, Branimir K. Hackenberger, Periodicum Biologorum vol 113 suppl 2 2011, p 1-61, the difference between P. aprica and P. graeca is the following: 1 3rd antennal segment with large pointed dorsal tooth, directed forward, orange-yellow in color. Apical segments darker. Male antennae narrower, same color as female. Anterior three tergites yellowish-brown laterally with narrow median black line. Abdomen is mostly covered with golden-yellow hairs. Halterae are yellowish. Facets always of the same size in males. Male abdomen yellowish-brown on anterior three or four tergites with very narrow median black line often intermittent on posterior margin of each tergite (Figure 249, 250, 251, 252, 253) -> graeca (F.) • 3rd antennal segment is dark reddish-brown with small rectangular dorsal tooth, not directly directed forward. Abdomen with anterior tergites rather dark chestnut brown with wide black median line. Halterae are brownish-yellow. Males: all facets of almost the same size, 3rd antennal segment very narrow, generally darker than in females with distinct small dorsal tooth, 1 st antennal segment – scapus mostly blackish-gray, abdomen rather narrow, same color as in females (Figure 254, 255, 256, 257) -> aprica (Meigen) I always had great difficulties trying to choose between the two alternatives. Maybe a very detailed view of antennas could help a little more. |
