| Abstract: | Observations are recorded on some tabanids in Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda since about 1958. It is suggested that adults of tree-hole breeding species of Chrysopsinae Rhinomyzini emerge after heavy falls of rain, and that the littoral species Adersia oestroides (Karsch) has an emergence rhythm related to tides. Feeding habits of some species of Philoliche are described. P. palustris sp.n. (which is described, was collected in Uganda in 1958), P. ruppellii (Jaennicke) and P. candidolimbatus (Aust.) are recorded biting man in Uganda. |
