| Abstract: | Collections of Tabanids were made weekly from April to September mainly with 6 modified Manitoba traps and 3 modified animal traps [cf. RAE/B 57, 721] in the estuarine marshes and meadows of West Galveston Bay, Texas [cf. two following abstracts]. The catch comprised 16 235 individuals of 20 species and subspecies, of which 3 were in the genus Chrysops, 1 in Chlorotabanus and 16 in Tabanus. T. nigrovittatus Macq. occurred almost throughout the season and made up 88% of the total, most of the remaining 12% being made up of T. sulcifrons Macq., T. texanus Hine, T. lineola var. hinellus Philip, T. subsimilis Bellardi, T. stygius Say and Chrysops flavidus Wied. |
