| Abstract: | In further studies on tabanids in Chakwenga Game Reserve, Zambia [cf. RAE/B 64, 1277, 1836], the numbers of tabanids collected in Malaise traps baited with carbon dioxide from 3 vegetation types (headwater grassland, riverine grassland, miombo [Brachystegia-Isoberlinia] woodland) from November 1974 to October 1975, were significantly different; the greatest numbers were recorded from the woodland and the least from the riverine grassland. In all vegetation types, the abundance of tabanids coincided with the warm rainy season in November-April; all species recorded during the study were represented in each type. |
