| Abstract: | Suction blacklight (ultraviolet) trappings have been conducted at Bet Dagan, Israel, since 1978. T. arenivagus has been caught only during 1992-94. Seventy-one specimens, all females, were caught by these traps, demonstrating that females are attracted to the wavelength range of 340-380 nm radiated by the mercury-vapour lamps of these traps. This constitutes a new finding among the tabanid species of the Mediterranean region. |
