| Abstract: | In a survey in March-October 1974 of coastal prairies in Texas some 30 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, 1212 females and 4 males in 14 species of Tabanidae were caught in Manitoba traps and modified animal traps. They comprised 1 species of Silvius, 2 of Chrysops and 11 of Tabanus; 87.9% of the material taken belonged to 4 species, Tabanus subsimilis Bellardi, T. mularis Stone, T. quaesitus Stone and T. sulcifrons Macq., in order of decreasing abundance. The coastal prairie fauna was very similar to that taken in coastal marshes near Galveston [see RAE/B 63, 1641]. |
