| Abstract: | During the 1992-1998 and 2000-2002 period a total of 1397 horseflies, representing 28 species of the genera Silvius, Chrysops, Atylotus, Hybomitra, Tabanus, Heptatoma, Haematopota and Philipomyia, were collected in the Gorski kotar region, Croatia. Tabanus is the most common genus, represented by 13 species, followed by the genera: Hybomitra - 5 species, Chrysops - 3, Haematopota and Philipomyia - 2, and Silvius, Atylotus and Heptatoma with 1 species each. The most abundant species is Tabanus bromius, accounting for 59.98%, followed by Tabanus glaucopis, 12.52%, Tabanus maculicornis, 6.08% and Philipomyia aprica at 4.15%. These four species make up 82.73% of the horsefly fauna in the Gorski kotar. Seven new horsefly species were sampled for the study area. The collected species cover 14 fields on the UTM grid of Croatia. |
