03B487C52563FFD8FF70F8D2071BBB8A.taxon	discussion	Comments: Val (1976: 79, fig. 102, female) mentioned the presence of a dark triangular spot on the posterior region of the scutum. In the examined specimens, the triangular mark is small, barely visible, similar to that observed in the lectotype and additional female deposited in Berlin (Fig. 2). In addition, the studied specimens have considerable variation in size, the smallest measures 19 mm and the largest, 26 mm. This size difference was found in Thunberg′s collection in UUZM, but labeled also noted by Carrera & d′Andretta (1957), who men- from Brazil; presumed lost according to Papavero, tioned that the body length of this species varied be- 2009: 5). Type locality: Lesser Antilles, Saint Barthélemy tween 20 and 35 mm. (Forsström). [For nomenclatural history, see Papavero (2009: 3), no changes are proposed here].

Type: 1 specimen, likely male as stated by Thunberg (UUZM, see Wallin & Wallin, 2001: 27; according to Val, 1976 only one male specimen, not labeled as type, was Diagnosis: Female – Body predominantly brown to black (Fig. 3 A). Frons yellow (Fig. 3 A, B). Face with a slightly prominent beak (Fig. 3 B, C).

Thorax predominantly brown with a wide yellowish longitudinal median stripe. (Fig. 3 A). Wing with brown base (Fig. 3 E). Legs reddish brown to dark brown, hind femur without ventral spine (Fig. 3 F). Abdomen black with small white spots on lateral margins of tergites 2 and 3.	en	Oliveira, Lia Pereira, Fachin, Diego Aguilar, Krolow, Tiago Kütter (2023): First records of Pantophthalmidae (Insecta: Diptera) for the state of Tocantins, Brazil.

03B487C52563FFD8FF70F8D2071BBB8A.taxon	discussion	Comments: The beak on the face of one examined specimen is dented, giving the impression that the structure is excavated. In the illustration provided by Val (1976: 121, fig. 80, female) of P. tabaninus, it is possible to verify that the beak, although not very prominent, does not have a recess.	en	Oliveira, Lia Pereira, Fachin, Diego Aguilar, Krolow, Tiago Kütter (2023): First records of Pantophthalmidae (Insecta: Diptera) for the state of Tocantins, Brazil.
