| Abstract: | Intensive collecting in Cedar Bog, Champaign County, Ohio in 1978 and 1979 using a modified Malaise trap baited with dry ice and shiny black sphere, and an aerial net, together with a review of specimens in 5 collections, produced records for 33 species of tabanids. The seasonal abundance of many of these species was described. The great diversity of species is attributed to the wide variety of breeding habitats in the area. Among natural enemies of tabanids, Telenomus tabanivorus (Ashm.) emerged from egg-masses of a tabanid, and Trichogramma minutum Ril. emerged from eggs of Chrysops. |
