Abstract:

Study during 1967 of the species of Tabanus breeding in tidal swamps on the Pacific Coast of eastern Panama showed that at least 6 species form a closely similar group sharing the same general habitat. They range from Panama to Ecuador, though only in Panama has the habitat been explored for Tabanids. In this note, a key is given to the females of the 6 species. Two of them are described as new. Figures and comparative notes are given for all 6 species.
