| Abstract: | The article presents the horsefly fauna (Dipteral: Tabanidae) of the south- east Herzegovina region, Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the 1987-1990 and 2003[long dash]2005 periods we collected a total of 847 horseflies representing 27 species and classified in eight genera. The most common genus is Tabanus represented with 12 species, followed by the genera Hybomitra [long dash] 6, Haematopota [long dash] 3 Chrysops [long dash] 2, and Atylotus, Dasyrhamphis, Philipomyia and Therioplectes with 1 species, respectively. The five most abundant species were Hybomitra muehlfeldi (34.36 %), Tabanus bromius (12.04 %), Chrysops viduatus 9.33 %, Hybomitra ciureai (8.85 %) and Philipomyia greaca (6.26 %), which account for 70.84 % of the total number of collected specimens. New species recorded for this region and the for the whole of the state of Bosnia and Hercegovina are: Tabanus eggeri, Tabanus darimonti and Tabanus shanonnellus. |
