Abstract:

Specifications are given for construction of a rigid canopy trap modified from the Manitoba trap [cf. RAE/B 59, 282,941], which withstands continuous exposure in coastal salt marshes. Collections of adult Tabanids by this trap included large numbers of a greater variety of species than were collected by a New Jersey box trap (a modified Manning trap [cf. 60, 993]).
