OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIONOMICS OF SOME NORTHERN SPECIES OF TABANIDAE (DIPTERA)
Ten species of Tabanus, five of Chrysops, and one of Atylotus are recorded from the Churchill, Manitoba, area. Of these, Tabanus itasca Philip, Tabanus sp. (new?), and Atylotus ohioensis (Hine) represent new records. It is established that Tabanidae in this region overwinter in the larval stage and...
