Abstract:

A study was carried out on tabanids fauna of the Sakar Mountain, Bulgaria in 2005 and 2008. As a result of the study a total of 550 [female] and 30[male] specimens of the Tabanidae family have been collected and processed. They belong to 19 species of 6 genera as follows: Chrysops (2 species), Hybomitra (1 species), Tabanus (9 species), Haematopota (3 species), Dasyrhamphis (2 species) and Philipomyia (2 species). Twelve of the established species are reported for the first time for the Sakar Mountain fauna. Zoogeographically Mediterranean faunistic elements predominate in the studied region (63.16 %).
