The genus Linnaeus has a worldwide distribution and is the richest in species; however, it is probably not monophyletic.

Description
Summary:The genus Linnaeus has a worldwide distribution and is the richest in species; however, it is probably not monophyletic. In the Neotropical Region, its richness is certainly underestimated, mainly due to the large number of species and the absence of recent taxonomic revisions. We describe sp. n. from the State of Rondônia, Brazil, based on a conspicuous tabanid species possibly related to the species group. Diagnosis, discussion and illustrations are also provided.
