Type $ from India and another 9 from Sikhim, in Indian 

 Museum coll. A small species allied to Tabanus oxycerafus, Bigot, 

 but distinguished from it by the large oval frontal callus with

 round the veins and have an appendix. Length 15 mm. 



The type is a very faded poor specimen.

 reddish appearing dark by reason of the thick black short pubes-

 with yellowish brown tomentum. Forehead short, wide, ver}- 

 slightly narrower anteriorly, practically parallel, about four times 

 as long as it is wide, the frontal callus blackish, not reaching the

 type with a fine short line about the length of the callus itself. 



Thorax brownish. Abdomen blackish brown, with white- 

 haired median spots on each segment except the last two. Legs
