A PRELIMINARY ACCOUNT OF THE BITING FLIES AT CHURCHILL, MANITOBA
The occurrence is recorded at Churchill, Manitoba, of 5 genera and 11 species of Cuhcidae, 2 genera and 12 species of Simuliidae (3 and possibly 4 of which may be new to science), and 2 genera and 10 species of Tabanidae. Data are presented on their habitats, life histories, habits, species associat...
