About this ebook

The so-called "lined horse flies, " "striped horse flies, " or "lineola complex" have been among the most difficult of American Tabanus species to characterize and identify. Hine (1906), Krober (1933), Philip (1942), and Fairchild (1942) all devoted special publications to segments of the group, while Bequaert (1940a) gave a key to the Trinidad species. No one so far has attempted to bring together all the Nearctic and Neotropical species. In this monograph, I give a synonymical list of the species here considered valid, an alphabetical checklist of the names that have been used for species of the group, the valid names in boldface, keys to both sexes, and notes on individual species, arranged in alphabetical order. Citations to the original descriptions of names discussed may be found in the catalogues of Philip, in Stone et al. (1965), or Fairchild (1971). Those described subsequent to 1971 appear with appropriate citation in the checklist.
