Abstract: | Faunistical and ecological research work have been carried out on 6 localities in areas around the Neretva river during 1995 and 1996. All together 739 horse flies were collected. The identification and review literature established 33 species of horse flies classified in eight genera: Chrysops, Atylotus, Therioplectes, Hybomitra, Tabanus, Haematopota, Dasyrhamphis and Philipomyia. This faunistic research of horse flies resulted in the recording of the Hybomitra expollicata and Tabanus regularis, new species in the fauna of Croatia. Three species, Hybomitra ciureai, Hybomitra muehlfeldi and Hybomitra acuminata, make up 54.52% of the horse fly fauna of the investigated area. |
