Abstract:

A survey of Tabanid species with occurrence in Parana State was done in this paper, based on literature, records of the Collection of Entomology Padre Jesus Santiago Moure deposited in the Department of Zoology of the Federal University of Parana (DZUP), records of the Museum of Zoology of the University of Sao Paulo (MZUSP) and on samplings done during the first year of the Project "Survey of the entomological fauna in Parana State" (PROFAUPAR). A pictorial identification key for subfamilies, tribes and genera from Parana was elaborated. Schematic drawings to illustrate the characters of genera have been done, corresponding to the morphology of head, wing, abdomen and legs. There are 68 species registered, distributed in 23 genera, six tribes and three subfamilies; 28 species are newly recorded for this State.
