| Abstract: | In studies in March and April 1972, larvae of Tabanus nigrovittatus Macq., Chrysops fuliginosus Wied. and C. atlanticus Pechuman were recovered most often and in greatest abundance in regularly flooded areas of salt marshes with nearly uniform stands of Spartina alterniflora in Carteret County, North Carolina. Areas of S. cynosuroides and Distichlis spicata and Juncus roemerianus yielded decreasing numbers of Tabanid larvae. In mixed vegetation, as the proportion of other vegetation increased and that of S. alterniflora decreased, the numbers of Tabanid larvae declined. |
