Tabanidae of Canada, east of the Rocky Mountains 1: a ...

Chrysops carbonarius Walker
Length 7-10 mm. An all black species with a hyaline wing apex and a black face with a
yellow pruinose stripe. Only likely to be confused with Chrysops ater Macquart, but reliably
distinguished from that species by wing pattern. Teskey (1990) stated that he had seen
evidence of hybridization of the two species.
