Abstract:

P. micans is generally considered an anthophilic species. The flowers with which it is associated are listed and its range (W. Palaearctic) is given. A second case of haematophagy on man is reported from Herault, France, and observations of haematophagy on horses in Herault and Gard are reported. The anthophilic and autogenous nature of the Pangoniini and the possible causes of their occasional haematophagy and anautogeny are discussed.
