TABANIDAE (INS., DIPTERA) DIN Colecţille MUZEULUI DE Ştilnţele Naturil DIN AIUD TABANIDAE (INS., DIPTERA) DIN COLECŢilLE MUZEULUI DE ŞTilNŢELE NATURil DIN AIUD de ANDY Z. LEHRER, LADISLAU LORINCZ În colecţia entomologică a Muzeului de Ştiinţele Naturii din Aiud, realizată de Dr. Zoltan Szilady la începutul secolului XX, în puţinii ani cit a funcţionat ca profesor şi curator de muzeu al fostului colegiu „Gabriel Bethlen" din localitate, există şi un număr de 86 tabanide. O bună parte din ele provin din ţara noastră, însă alta a fost colectată din Austria, Ce­ hoslovacia, Jugoslavia şi Ungaria. După obiceiul timpului, acestea pur­ tau etichete colective de identificare, dar nimeni nu mai poate avea astăzi siguranţa că manipulările ulterioare au respectat locurile stabilite iniţial de către cel care a fost considerat drept un prestigios tabanidolog al epocii. Îndoiala noastră este susţinută de faptul că seriile de „specii" sau exem­ plarele ce ar fi putut aparţine aceleaşi serii erau spaţiate într-o măsură ce sugerează chiar lipsuri inexplicabile. Fiecare individ este prevăzut cu cite o etichetă pe care sînt înscrise locul d~ provenienţă şi data de colectare (rareori aceasta din urmă lip­ seşte). Insă, pentru că localităţile româneşti (şi cele cehoslovace) au fost înlocuite de Szilady cu toponime maghiare, în nota de faţă ele au fost tra­ duse şi actualizate, cu excepţia citorva care nu pot fi precizate din punct de vedere geografic. Cît priveşte exactitatea determinărilor lui Szilady, ea este destul de departe de adevăr, în exemplarele sale putîndu-se stabili 26 de specii, care vor fi menţionate mai jos. Ca urmare a verificării noastre şi a existenţei etichetelor comune, toate exemplarele au fost regrupate în colecţia mu­ zeului din Aiud, în funcţie de nomenclatura tabanidologică actuală, ne­ ţinîndu-se seama de gruparea presupus „originară' a lor.

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.

Bunlardan sekizi, Chrysops relictus Meig., Dasyramphis anthracinus (Meig.), Atylotus latistriatus (Brauer), A. venturii Leclercq, Hybomitra bimaculata (Macq.), H. pilosa (Loew), Tabanus maculicornis Zetterstedt, Haematopota gallica Szi., Türkiye Tabanidae faunası için yeni kayıttır. Ayrıca tespit edilen türlerden 33'ü Trakya bölgesinden ilk kez lokalite belirtilerek bildirilmektedir. Şimdiye kadarki çalışmalarla Trakya bölgesinde yayılış gösterdiği bildirilenlerle birlikte, toplam tür sayısı 74'e çıkmış olmaktadır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Trakya, Insecta, Diptera, Tabanidae, Fauna Tabanidae (Diptera) Fauna of Turkish Thrace Region Abstract: Sixtyfour species of Tabanidae (Diptera) were determinated in Trakya region of Turkey by this study. Eight of these, Chrysops relictus Meig., Dasyramphis anthracinus (Meig.), Atylotus latistriatus (Brauer), A. venturii Leclercq, Hybomitra bimaculata (Macq.), H. pilosa (Loew), Tabanus maculicornis Zetterstedt, Haematopota gallica Szi., are new records for Tabanidae fauna of Turkey. 33 out of 64 species were recorded by their distribution patterns in Trakya region for the first time. The number of Tabanidae species in Trakya region reached to 74 with this study and the previous records. Key Words: Thrace, Insecta, Diptera, Tabanidae, Fauna Giriş yakındır (44,45,46). Bu sonuçlar ve Türkiye’nin coğrafi Türkiye Tabanidae faunası üzerindeki ilk çalışmalar yapısı dikkate alındığında Türkiye’de tespit edilmemiş oldukça eskidir. Öyle ki bu çalışmalardaki lokalite daha birçok Tabanidae türünün bulunması kayıtları bugün Türkiye sınırları içinde olmadığından muhtemeldir.

  • The Horse Flies (Diptera, Tabanidae) of Norway
    © Norwegian Journal of Entomology. 8 December 2014 The Horse Flies (Diptera, Tabanidae) of Norway MORTEN FALCK Falck, M. 2014. The Horse Flies (Diptera, Tabanidae) of Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 61, 219–264. The Norwegian species are reviewed, and keys are supplied for all species. The following species are reported as new to Norway: Chrysops viduatus (Fabricius, 1794), Atylotus latistriatus Brauer, 1880, Hybomitra aterrima (Meigen, 1820), Hybomitra solstitialis (Meigen 1820), Haematopota italica Meigen, 1804, Haematopota subcylindica Pandellé, 1883 and Tabanus miki Brauer, 1880. The finding of Hybomitra aterrima solves the question of whether this taxon is a southern form of Hybomitra auripila Meigen, 1820 or a good species, and the long standing controversies over this question. However, the identity of Atylotus latistriatus seems to offer an unresolved problem. Maps of distribution, and a check list to the Norwegian species are supplied, and new Norwegian names are proposed for each species. Key words: Diptera, Tabanidae, Chrysops, Atylotus, Hybomitra, Tabanus, Heptatoma, Haematopota, Atylotus latistriatus, Hybomitra aterrima, Norway, identification keys, distribution maps.

The low degree of similarity (46.2%) of the fauna between these mountains is related to their natural features and insufficient research. The greatest number of species has been found in the zone of the beech forests (409 species or 55.1% from Pirin Mts. and 736 species or 73.4% from the Rila Mts.). The degree of similarity between the dipteran fauna of the different vegetation belts of the two mountains ranges from 0% to 46.6%. The dipterans belong to 92 areographical categories, divided into two supergroups: 1) species with Mediterranean type of distribution: more thermophilic and distributed mainly in the southern parts of the Palaearctic (49 species or 6.5% from Pirin Mts. and 48 species or 4.8% from the Rila Mts.); 2) species with Palaearctic and Eurosiberian type of distribution: more eurybiontic and widely distributed in the Palaearctic (710 species or 93.5% from Pirin Mts. and 955 species or 95.2% from the Rila Mts.). The Holomediterranean and Mediterranean-Central Asian forms (from 0.6% to 1.3%) are the best represented in the first group.

At least, one can guess the probable identity of larvae from the habitat in which they were found. Thus, in calcareous seepages one would expect to find dives, pardalina and pygmaea, along muddy water margins it would be trilineata, and in wet meadows most likely rara. However, Andy Godfrey has been sampling calcareous streams in Lincolnshire and Oxfordshire using the usual river biologist's method of kick-sampling in riffles. Here he has found morrisii. The larvae of this species have been found in a range of habitats such as marshes and stream margins. This is the first record of the larvae being found within the body of the stream. This was not a single chance event because several larvae were found at more than one site. Although the separation of the larvae of morrisii and pardalina is not good using present characters, there is little doubt that morrisii is the species involved.
