| Abstract: | Five genera and 15 species of Tabanidae were collected from the Gibe River area in West-central Ethiopia in 1986. Tabanus gibensis n. sp. and the male of T. pallidifacies are described; amendments to Oldroyd’s keys to the African Tabanidae are supplied. Tabanus atrimanus is recorded for the first time from Ethiopia. The known tabanid fauna of Ethiopia remains small (5.6%) relative to the Afrotropical fauna. (The taxa discussed are: Chrysops distinctipennis, Haematopota albihirta, H. patellicornis, H. sp., Atylotus spp., Euancala maculatissima, Tabanus atrimanis, T. biguttatus, T. gratus, T. insignis, T. kingi, T. leucostomus, and T. taeniola.) |
