| Abstract: | Tabanid flies were surveyed using New Jersey light traps and Mosquito Magneto traps at US Army installations and training sites in the northern part of Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea. A total of 344 tabanid flies, comprising 14 species and 5 genera, were collected from June to August during 2003-2004. Dominant species were Chrysops vanderwulpi (57.3%), Haematopota sinensis (29.1 %), Haematopota koryoensis (4.4%) and Tabanus mandarinus (2.3%). Mosquito Magnet traps that generated CO2 through the combustion of propane gas were nearly 6 times more effective in collecting tabanid flies than New Jersey light traps. Based on Mosquito Magnet trap collections, peak populations occurred from mid-June to early July. |
