  • [Supplementary Material] An annotated checklist of the horse flies, deer flies, and yellow flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) of Florida
    Florida Entomologist, 2015
    Co-Authors: Catherine M. Zettel Nalen, Daniel L. Kline, Bruce D. Sutton, Günter C. Müller, James E. Cilek
    Abstract:

    The last compilation of the Tabanidae of Florida was published in 1964 by Calvin Jones & Darrell Anthony. Since then, several taxonomic and distributional changes have been made, as well as the addition of several state locality records. We have compiled a list of Tabanidae species currently present in the state of Florida, or potentially present in Florida based on surrounding state records, using literature surveys and per­sonal examinations of the collections at the Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville, Florida, USA. Currently, 124 species/subspecies are recorded from Florida, with an additional 15 species with likely Florida distributions from 15 different genera. In contrast, Jones & Anthony (1964) recognized 118 species among 14 genera. Although the number of species is not vastly different, much taxonomic revision has been done to the Florida Tabanidae. Three new Florida records are presented for Tabanus reinwardtii Weidemann, 1828, Chlorotabanus mexicanus (L.,1758), and Tabanus yucatanus Townsend, 1897. Resumen La ultima compilacion de los Tabanidae de Florida fue publicada en 1964 por Calvin Jones y Darrell Anthony. Desde entonces, se han hecho varios cambios taxonomicos y de distribucion, asi como la adicion de varios registros de localidad del estado. Hemos compi­lado una lista de especies de Tabanidae presentes actualmente en el estado de la Florida, o potencialmente presentes en la Florida basado en registros de los otros estados cercanos, a traves de una revision de literatura y un examen cuidadoso de los especimenes de la Coleccion Estatal de Artropodos de Florida en Gainesville, Florida. Actualmente, se registran 124 especies/subespecies de la Florida, con 15 especies adicionales de 15 generos diferentes cuyas distribucion en la Florida es probable. Por el contrario, Jones y Anthony (1964) reconocen 118 especies en 14 generos. Mientras que el numero de especies no es muy diferente, se ha hecho mucho revision taxonomica para los Tabanidae de la Florida. Tres nuevos registros para la Florida se presentan, Tabanus reinwardtii Weidemann 1828, Chlorotabanus mexicanus (L., 1758), y Tabanus yucatanus Townsend, 1897.

  • Pangonius theodori a new horse fly species for science from Israel and Lebanon (Diptera: Tabanidae: Pangoniinae).
    Acta tropica, 2012
    Co-Authors: Theo Zeegers, Vasiliy D. Kravchenko, Günter C. Müller
    Abstract:

    Pangonius theodori a new horse fly species (Diptera: Tabanidae: Pangoniinae) from northern Israel and southern Lebanon is described. The zoogeography, habitat preference and taxonomic position within the genus of the new species is discussed in detail.

  • New records for the horse fly fauna (Diptera: Tabanidae) of Jordan with remarks on ecology and zoogeography
    Journal of vector ecology : journal of the Society for Vector Ecology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Günter C. Müller, Vasiliy D. Kravchenko, Jerome A. Hogsette, Edita E. Revay, Andrey Leshvanov, Yosef Schlein
    Abstract:

    The horse fly fauna (Diptera: Tabanidae) of Jordan is, after Israel, the richest in the Levant, with 24 known species. During the 20-year project "The Ecology and Zoogeography of the Lepidoptera of the Near East," we regularly collected blood-feeding flies, resulting in 11 additional species of Tabanidae for Jordan. The new records are: Atylotus quadrifarius (Loew, 1874), Chrysops caecutiens (Linnaeus, 1758), Dasyrhamphis nigritus (Fabricius, 1794), Haematopota pallens Loew, 1871, Nemorius irritans (Ricardo, 1901), Philipomyia graeca (Fabricius, 1794), Tabanus cordiger Meigen, 1820, Tabanus taeniola Palisot de Beauvois, 1806, Tabanus quatuornotatus Meigen, 1820, Tabanus separatus Effllatoun, 1930, and Tabanus spectabilis Loew, 1858. Most of the new records (10/11) are of Palearctic origin; of these, six are of a Mediterranean and one each of West Palearctic, Euroasiatic, Irano-Turanian, and Eremic providence. Only one species, T. taeniola, is an Afrotropical-Eremic element.

  • effect of 1 octen 3 ol in field trapping aedes spp dipt culicidae and hybomitra spp dipt Tabanidae in subarctic norway
    Journal of Applied Entomology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Arne C Nilssen
    Abstract:

    : A field test with 1-octen-3-ol (octenol) used as an attractant in flight traps was carried out in subarctic Norway (69o40′N, 23o30′E) during four warm days in July 1993. Aedes spp. (Dipt., Culicidae) were caught in significantly (P = 0.0001) higher numbers in octenol-baited traps than in empty control traps (approximately seven-fold increase), as was Hybomitra lundbecki Lyneborg (Dipt., Tabanidae), (P = 0.0003) (approximately nine-fold increase). Octenol also increased but not significantly (P = 0.09, n = 14) the catch of Chrysops relictus Meigen (Dipt., Tabanidae). The study confirmed the established role of octenol as an attractant of biting Diptera. The advantage of using octenol instead of, or in combination with, carbon dioxide in control or surveillance of such insects is discussed.
