| Abstract: | A total of 476 tabanid larvae, including 108 Chrysops nigripes and 145 Chrysops probably zinzalus, were obtained from regular collections made from early June through late August 1990- 1991 in Iron Arm Fen, a minerotrophic peatland located in subarctic Labrador near Schefferville, Quebec. Changes in head capsule and total body length-frequency distributions among successive sampling periods and years suggest very slow growth rates for Chrysops species at subarctic latitudes; life cycles may require 7-8 years to complete. |
