| Abstract: | Eight hundred adult Tabanids representing 20 species in 9 genera were reared from 2273 field-collected larvae or pupae from the Panama Canal Zone and the Republic of Panama in 1963-65. Pupae of 2 further species, one representing an additional genus, were subsequently obtained. These examples were used to prepare descriptions of the larva or pupa of 2 species of Chrysops, 2 of Chlorotabanus, 1 of Lepiselaga, 2 of Leucotabanus, 1 of Pseudacanthocera, 1 of Philipotabanus, 1 of Stenotabanus, 4 of Stibasoma, 1 of Poeciloderas, and 8 of Tabanus. Keys to 15 genera of larvae and 17 of pupae of neotropical Tabanids are included. |
