| Abstract: | Tabanus pseudonebulosus, new species, is described based on 217 female specimens and 5 males collected in Venezuela (Guarico, Aguaio, Santa Elena, and Palmarito) and in Brazil (Para Santana do Araguaia, Serra das Andorinhas in Sdo Geraldo do Araguaia, Serra Norte Caraj6s and Gorotire; Amazonas: Canutama; Mato Grosso do Sul: Corumb6), mostly in open vegetation, scrub forest and in rocky environments. Observed intraspecifitc variation in the specimens is presented and related to collection localities, and morphological differences are diagnosed in relation to the similar species Tabanus nebulosus DeGeer 1776 and T. importunus Wiedemann 1828.
