| Abstract: | The latitudinal distribution of 79 of the 82 species of Tabanidae known from Quebec is described and discussed. The genera and (in brackets) numbers of species present in the temperate life zone are Chrysops (30), Hybomitra (22), Tabanus (13), Atylotus (3), Stonemyia (2) and Haematopota (1); 27 species have their northern limit in this zone and 3 their southern limit. Tabanus and Haematopota reach their general northern limit in the subarctic zone, and Atylotus and Chrysops in the hemiarctic zone. Only 4 species of Hybomitra are known to be present in the true arctic zone. |
