| Abstract: | Tabanidae were collected intensively throughout West Virginia from 1975 to 1978. The records of these collections, together with those previously published or obtained from specimens in various private and institutiona!. collections, account for a total of 68 species and subspecies (in 9 genera) known for this state. Illustrated keys are given for the 9 genera and the species in each genus (and also for an additional 52 species that may eventually be taken in West Virginia), together with introductory notes on the Tabanidae as disease vectors, the traps and methods used for assessing abundance in 1975-78 and on the taxonomy, distribution and collection dates and localities of the species. |
