| Abstract: | The author, after having examined several specimens of horseflies belonging to the collection of the Royal Museum of Central Africa (Tervuren), concluded that: a) Tabanus jadini Fain, 1949, is a good species, easily distinguished (by the form of the frontal callus) from T. taeniola Palisot de Beauvois, 1807, in opposition to the Oldroyd’s opinion (1954); b) Tabanus gedoelsti Surcouf, 1911, shows several morphological differences regarding to T. coniformis Ricardo, 1908, entities which Oldroyd (1954) considered as synonymous; c) Among a batch of several specimens of horse-flies classified as Haematopota stimulans Austen, 1908, an appreciable part of them were better related to the H. insidiatrix Austen, 1908. |
