| Abstract: | Those Tabanus species from Mexico and western North America with pilose eyes bearing a coloured pattern in life, and distinguished from species of Hybomitra , are reviewed. Two new species of Tabanus, T. selvaticus sp. n. from Hidalgo and T. sierrensis sp. n. from Durango, are described. One species, H. laticornis, is reassigned to Tabanus from Hybomitra, pending additional study. Other combinations and synonymies are made. Species treated in this study are placed into 4 groups based on shared external features of adults, and of larvae and pupae when known. A key to adult females is provided for the species discussed. |
