| Abstract: | The 60 specific names that have been applied to North and South American species of Tabanus with striped abdomens and banded eyes are reviewed. The group is defined, the 28 valid taxa are discussed, 2 new species are described and 6 names discarded as unrecognized or not applying to American taxa. Keys are provided to the females of all recognized taxa and to the males that are known. Head characters and eye patterns, where known, are figured for nearly all species. A list of the species considered valid and their synonyms is included as well as an alphabetical checklist. |
