Abstract:

A zoogeographical analysis of the tabanid fauna of Mongolia showed that it was represented by 10 faunistic complexes beloging to 4 sub-regional types: Boreal Asiatic, Mediterranean, Afro-European and East Asian. The taiga complex had the largest number of species (13), followed by the steppe and desert complexes (10 each) and the eastern Siberian forest complex (7). The eastern limit of the western forms Hybomitra montana reinigiana (End.), Tabanus leleani Aust. and T. brunneocallosus Olsuf’ev occurred in Mongolia, as did the western limit of the eastern forms Chrysops mlokosiewiczi Big. (vanderwulpi Krober) and T. stackelbergiellus Olsuf’ev.
