| Abstract: | Twenty-two species of Tabanidae (representing the tribes Philolichini, Tabanini and Haematopotini) have now been reported from Saudi Arabia. A checklist for these species is provided, and their wider geographical distribution is discussed. In summary, 12 species are Afrotropical, 8 are Palaearctic and 2 are restricted to Saudi Arabia. [In a subsequent erratum, it is indicated that on pp. 6-7 the Mediterranean component of the Palaearctic fauna should read: Atylotus farinosus, Tabanus albifacies, T. arabicus, T. fumidus, T. leleani turkestanicus and T. subuletorum; the European component of the Palaearctic fauna should read: T. cordiger and T. unifasciatus; and the Saudi Arabian fauna should read: A. pallescens and T. riyadhae]. |
