| Abstract: | A list with notes on morphology, habitats and distribution is given of 29 of the 30 Tabanid species that have been recorded from Cuba, the remaining record, that of Tabanus townsendi Johnson, being considered doubtful. The species dealt with include 6 that are described as new and 4 that are here recorded for the first time from Cuba. The males of 4 species are described for the first time, and a new subspecies is also described, and two males that it was not possible to relate with known species are described but not named. T. gundlachi n. n. is proposed for T. bifloccus Hine [RAE/B 14, p. 71], which is stated to be preoccupied. |
