Abstract

The species of the Tabanidae family are the so-called horseflies (deerflies, squat flies) with big heads, brilliantly coloured eyes; some females (Chrysops, Tabanus, Haematopota) are livestock pests sucking boold. Many primitive genera feed only from flowers. Larvae live in mud or wet soil and there are either vegetarian (chrysops) or carnivorous (Tabanus, Haematopota). 59 species belong to the Hungarian fauna, among them 43 (75%) were registered in Somogy county, most of them in the Southern part of the region. The horsefly fauna of this county is the best surveyed in Hungary. The Northern part of the county including the representative holiday areas along Lake Balaton should be systematically surveyed, as the Tabanids female are serious blood sucking pest harmful to humans and livestock.
