Abstract: | Tabanus riyadhae sp. nov. from Al-Zolfi, central region of Saudi Arabia, is described. The species belongs to the Palaearctic group I of Tabanus s.s. It is clearly distinct from all previously known Palaearctic and Afrotropical species. A checklist of the 22 known species of Saudi Arabian Tabanidae is given and includes 2 additional species (Philoliche magrettii and P. auricomus) not reported previously for the country. |
