Chrysops dispar
Chrysops dispar is a species of horsefly found widely distributed in the Indo-Malayan realm. Females feed on blood prior to laying eggs. The species is differentiated from others in the genus by the patterning of black on the abdomen segments and the dark patterning of the wings. There may however be cryptic species within the wide distribution range from India to Southeast Asia (crossing Weber's Line to Maluku).
