Abstract:

Immature stages of Tabanus colon, T. cymatophorus, T. lineola hinellus and Chrysops obsoletus are described and illustrated from specimens collected in Texas. Additional comments are provided on the immature stages of T. venustus, previously described, and separation of the immatures of these 5 species from other known immatures of Nearctic Tabanidae is discussed. A key to Tabanus larvae with a stigmatal spine is provided, as is a key to selected Chrysops larvae.
