Tabanus petiolatus is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae.[1][2][3] Unlike many Tabanus species, the color pattern of male eyes is found in the larger, upper lenses - appearing as a dark, brown streak across the light colored lens. Females of this species have uniformly colored dark brown eyes. [4] Often confused with Tabanus melanocerus or Tabanus trimaculatus.
