Abstract:

A list is given of 3 new state records and 133 new county records of tabanids in West Virginia, involving 44 species and subspecies and bringing up to date previous records published in 1976. The 3 tabanid species new to West Virginia are Chrysops beameri Brennan, of which 3 females were netted near a man in Mason County in July 1977; C. celatus Pechuman, collected in Summers County in June 1977; and Tabanus cymatophorus O.-S., of which 4 females were caught in a Malaise trap in Hampshire County in August 1977. Notes are given on the previously known distribution range of these species in the USA.
