Strossmayer University Lj. Gaja 6, HR-31000 Osijek, Croatia, [email protected] Accepted: March 7th 2008 The article presents the horsefly fauna (Dipteral: Tabanidae) of the south- east Herzegovina region, Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the 1987-1990 and 2003–2005 periods we collected a total of 847 horseflies representing 27 species and classified in eight genera. The most common genus isTabanus represented with 12 species, followed by the genera Hybomitra – 6, Haematopota – 3 Chrysops – 2, and Atylotus, Dasyrhamphis, Philipomyia and Therioplectes with 1 species, respectively. The five most abundant species were Hybomitra muehlfeldi (34.36 %), Tabanus bromius (12.04 %), Chrysops viduatus 9.33 %, Hybomitra ciureai (8.85 %) and Philipomyia greaca (6.26 %), which account for 70.84 % of the total number of collected specimens. New species recorded for this region and the for the whole of the state of Bosnia and Hercegovina are: Tabanus eggeri, Tabanus darimonti and Tabanus shanonnellus.

Horse flies are in the genus population of tabanids because of the availability of suitable Tabanus and deer flies are in the genusChrysops . The yellow habitat. Florida’s mild climate and large, permanently wet fly, Diachlorus ferrugatus (Fabricius), is known in Florida and undeveloped areas provide good breeding areas. as a fierce biter. Like mosquitoes, it is the female fly that is responsible for inflicting a bite. The males are mainly pollen Description and nectar feeders. Tabanids are most likely encountered in hot summer and early fall weather. They are active during Eggs daylight hours. Eggs are laid in masses ranging from 100 to 1000 eggs. Eggs are laid in layers on a vertical surface, such as overhanging foliage, projecting rocks, sticks, and aquatic vegetation. Aquatic vegetation is preferred. A shiny or chalky secre- tion, which aids in water protection, often covers eggs. The vertical surfaces on which the eggs are deposited are always directly over water and wet ground favorable to the development of larvae. The female will not deposit egg masses on vegetation that is too dense. -

With the exception of about a dozen common and wide-ranging species which seem to prefer the more open and disturbed habiats created by man’s agricultural activities, most tabanids have definite habitat preferences. This aspect of their biolgy has been little studied, although Fairchild (1953) summarized knowledge of the arboreal species and Chvala & Stary (1967) noted habitat referencs for Cuban speces. Philip (1978) and Fairchild (1973) noted preferences of certain species for the mangrove swamp habitat [Lutz, 1922: 148 had already noted that larvae of Tabanus obsoletus Wiedemann, 1821 live in that environment]. -

ABSTRACT BAYLESS, KEITH MOHR. Phylogenomic Studies of Evolutionary Radiations of Diptera
ABSTRACT BAYLESS, KEITH MOHR. Phylogenomic Studies of Evolutionary Radiations of Diptera. (Under the direction of Dr. Brian M. Wiegmann.) Efforts to understand the evolutionary history of flies have been obstructed by the lack of resolution in major radiations. Diptera is a highly diverse branch on the tree of life, but this diversity accrued at an uneven pace. Some of radiations that contributed disproportionately to species diversity occurred contemporaneously, and understanding the relationships of these taxa can illuminate broad scale patterns. Relationships between some subordinate groups of taxa are notoriously difficult to untangle, and genomic data will address these problems at a new scale. This project will focus on two major radiations in Diptera: Tabanus horse flies and relatives, and acalyptrate Schizophora. Tabanus includes over one thousand species. Synthesis focused research on the group is stymied by its species richness, worldwide distribution, inconsistent diagnosis, and scale of undescribed diversity. Furthermore, the genus may be non-monophyletic with respect to more than 10 other lineages of horse flies. A groundwork phylogenetic study of worldwide Tabanus is needed to understand the evolution of this lineage and to make comprehensive taxonomic projects manageable. Data to address this question was collected from two different sources. A dataset including five genes was sequenced from ninety-four species in the Tabanus group, including nearly all genera of Tabanini and at least one species from every biogeographic region. Then a new data source from a next generation sequencing approach, Anchored Hybrid Enrichment exome capture, was used to accumulate a dataset including hundreds of genes for a subset of the taxa. -
