Abstract:
From May to September 2022, in the habitats along the Mura River, 1295 horseflies were sampled, classified into two subfamilies, six genera, and 21 species. Seven new records of horseflies were recorded for the first time in the researched area. Newly recorded species are: Tabanus bovinus, Tabanus cordiger, Tabanus sudeticus, Heptatoma pellucens, Haematopota italica, Haematopota scutellata, Haematopota subcylindrica. The species Haematopota pluvialis is the most abundant species, accounting for 60.07% of all sampled horseflies. Tabanus bromius followed with 21.23%, while the other 19 horseflies account for 18.7%. 18 species of horseflies belonged to the boreal-Eurasian type of fauna, two belonged to the Mediterranean type of fauna, i.e. the southern European subtype, while one species belonged to the Afro-Eurasian-arid type of fauna. In the collected sample of horseflies, 33 males classified into 10 species were recorded, while all other collected horseflies were females (1262 specimens) classified into 20 species. The greatest similarity of the horseflies fauna was recorded between the localities Križovec and Goričan, 81.81%. 17 species of horseflies were sampled with a modified Manitoba trap (the so-called canopy trap), and 14 species were sampled with an oil or liquid trap. The largest number of horsefly specimens (59.07%) was sampled in the month of July, while the least horseflies were sampled in September (0.15%). The most abundant species, Tabanus bromius and Haematopota pluvialis, recorded their highest peaks of abundance in July. The longest flight period lasting five months (from May to September) was recorded only for Haematopota pluvialis. Tabanus bromius was represented in all 11 localities, while the species Haematopota pluvialis was represented in 10 localities, as well as the species Chrysops viduatus. Based on the earlier research conducted in 2011 and current research of the horseflies fauna along the Mura river in Međimurje, 22 taxa of horseflies (21 species and 1 subspecies) classified into six genera were identified.

Abstract:
From 2018 to 2022, at 10 localities on Bansko Hill, 3,639 horseflies were sampled. Most specimens (3,404) were sampled in 2022 in the period from mid-May to mid-September. The horseflies sampled are classified into two subfamilies, six genera and 19 species. The species Hybomitra ukrainica (Olsufjev, 1952), Tabanus miki Brauer in Brauer and Bergenstamm, 1880, Haematopota grandis Meigen, 1820 and Haematopota pandazisi (Kröber, 1936) are new finds of horsefly species for the studied area. The species Tabanus tergestinus Egger, 1859 is the most abundant species and makes up 71.11% of the horseflies sampled. The species Tabanus bromius L., 1758 followed with 10.16% of the abundance, Tabanus sudeticus Zeller, 1842 with 8.82% and Atylotus loewianus (Villeneuve, 1920) with 5.74% of the horseflies sampled, while 15 other species of horseflies were represented by the remaining 4.17%. In the collected sample, male horseflies accounted for 51.71% of the sample; all of them were sampled with an oil liquid trap. The largest number of horseflies (84.14%) were sampled in localities on the northeastern side of Bansko Hill, covered with forest vegetation of secondary origin. Three species, T. bromius, T. tergestinus and Heptatoma pellucens, (Fabricius, 1776) have the longest flight period, from mid-May to mid-September. The highest peaks of abundance for T. tergestinus, T. bromius, and T. sudeticus were recorded in July, for H. pellucens in June and for A. loewianus in August. The greatest similarity in horsefly fauna (85.71%) was recorded in the localities Popovac and Karanac. 90.98% of horseflies were collected by liquid oil traps, followed by sticky traps (5.22%) and canopy traps (3.79%). Data from earlier studies from 2011 and data from the current studies in the area of Bansko Hill have yielded records of 22 species of horsefly.

Abstract:
The aim of our work is to study structural changes in the species composition of blood-sucking dipterans in various biotopes of agrocenoses. It is established that the structure of the fauna of the blood-sucking Tabanidae is determined by abiotic (moisture, illumination, available shelters) and biotic (concentration of feeders) factors. One of the most important environmental factors that attract horseflies to agrocenoses is high density of farm animals that feed these insects. On lowland pastures, due to sufficient moisture, high light intensity and sun warming, conditions are favorable for habitation of adult horseflies. The ecological conditions of the adult horseflies habitation on dry pastures due to greater dryness, strong sun warming, lack of shelter and strong wind negatively affect the total number of horseflies. The ecological conditions of the adult horseflies habitation in the by-farm territories are less favorable. There is a tendency to reduction of the share of taiga species in the zoogeographic structure of the horsefly fauna (from 9 to 6 species over the past 10 years) and forest-steppe faunal complex (from 7 to 6 species). At the same time, the total average number of female horseflies attacking animals in various biotopes of agrocenoses of the central Non-Black Earth Zone has remained almost unchanged.

Full text
Abstract:
Bodypainting is widespread in African, Australian and Papua New Guinean indigenous communities. Many bodypaintings use white or bright yellow/grey/beige stripes on brown skin. Where the majority of people using bodypainting presently live, blood-sucking horseflies are abundant, and they frequently attack the naked brown regions of the human body surface with the risk of transmitting the pathogens of dangerous diseases. Since horseflies are deterred by the black and white stripes of zebras, we hypothesized that white-striped paintings on dark brown human bodies have a similar effect. In a field experiment in Hungary, we tested this hypothesis. We show that the attractiveness to horseflies of a dark brown human body model significantly decreases, if it is painted with the white stripes that are used in bodypaintings. Our brown human model was 10 times more attractive to horseflies than the white-striped brown model, and a beige model, which was used as a control, attracted two times more horseflies than the striped brown model. Thus, white-striped bodypaintings, such as those used by African and Australian people, may serve to deter horseflies, which is an advantageous byproduct of these bodypaintings that could lead to reduced irritation and disease transmission by these blood-sucking insects.

Abstract:
This article summarizes the available literature data on association of blood-sucking horseflies (Diptera, Tabanidae) with various abiotic factors (illumination, air temperature, wind and humidity). In recent years, studies on the daily and seasonal activity of horseflies in various territories of our country have been significantly expanded. The gnat complex includes mosquitoes (the family Culicidae), horseflies (Tabanidae), blackflies (Simuliidae) and sandflies (Ceratopogonidae). Factors that determine high abundance of the gnat are favorable climatic conditions for their reproduction and existence combined with abundance of breeding biotopes (various reservoirs and swamp formations), and habitat of adults (woody, shrub or tall herbaceous vegetation available), as well as a sufficient number of warm-blooded animals, a source of engorgement. The damage depends on high abundance of these insects and can adversely affect the health of farm animals and humans due to the transmission of infectious and invasive diseases. The development of effective measures to control horseflies based on the knowledge of biology of these insects, is one of the urgent tasks of agricultural science aimed at increasing animal productivity.

Polarization helps tabanid flies to select sunlit dark host animals from the dark patches of the visual environment." Royal Society Open Science 4, no. 11 (November 2017): 170735. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsos.170735.

Full text
Abstract:
Horseflies (Tabanidae) are polarotactic, being attracted to linearly polarized light when searching for water or host animals. Although it is well known that horseflies prefer sunlit dark and strongly polarizing hosts, the reason for this preference is unknown. According to our hypothesis, horseflies use their polarization sensitivity to look for targets with higher degrees of polarization in their optical environment, which as a result facilitates detection of sunlit dark host animals. In this work, we tested this hypothesis. Using imaging polarimetry, we measured the reflection–polarization patterns of a dark host model and a living black cow under various illumination conditions and with different vegetation backgrounds. We focused on the intensity and degree of polarization of light originating from dark patches of vegetation and the dark model/cow. We compared the chances of successful host selection based on either intensity or degree of polarization of the target and the combination of these two parameters. We show that the use of polarization information considerably increases the effectiveness of visual detection of dark host animals even in front of sunny–shady–patchy vegetation. Differentiation between a weakly polarizing, shady (dark) vegetation region and a sunlit, highly polarizing dark host animal increases the efficiency of host search by horseflies.

Abstract:
Larval tabanids were collected twice weekly from eight locations in Iron Arm fen, a peatland in subarctic Labrador near Schefferville, Quebec, June through August, 1990 and 1991. Of the 476 tabanid larvae collected, 82.7% were Chrysops (5 spp.), 17.0% were Hybomitra (5 spp.), and 0.3% were Atylotus sphagnicola Teskey; the most abundant species in the fen were C, zinzalus Philip (31%), and C. nigripes Zetterstedt (24%). Species- and genera-specific microhabitat preferences were apparent; in general Chrysops spp. preferred drier regions of the fen than did Hybomitra spp. Larvae of C. zinzalus and C. nigripes appear to require 3-4 years to complete their larval development in subarctic regions, based upon their patterns of seasonal growth.
Adult horse flies and deer flies were collected using canopy and Malaise traps at two locations in the Schefferville area, Iron Arm fen and Capricorn fen, from late June until early August in 1990 and 1991. Seventeen tabanid species were collected, six Chrysops spp., 10 Hybomitra spp., one Atylotus sp.; Hybomitra spp. comprised 96% of collections. Adult abundance of different species varied markedly between the two study sites; in general Iron Arm fen had a more abundant and diverse tabanid fauna than Capricorn.
For each of 10 tabanid species, samples of 10 flies were taken from daily trap catches for dissection and determination of parity, yolk deposition, and fat body deposition. In the Schefferville area, H. arpadi and H. aequetincta are obligately anautogenous, H. lurida and H. zonalis are facultatively autogenous, and H. pechumani, H. hearlei, H. frontalis (Walker), H. astuta (Osten Sacken), C. zinzalus and C. nigripes are obligately autogenous. Based upon gonotrophic age-grading of nulliparous individuaIs, the majority of H. aequetincta and H. arpadi females emerge either at the beginning of the flight season, midway through the season, or both, depending upon year and site. Most H. zonalis emerge midway through the flight season. Nulliparous female tabanids of anautogenous or facultatively autogenous species usually carry considerable amounts of fat body within their abdomens.
The effect of meterological variables on tabanid daily activity was investigated using a canopy trap incorporating an electronic insect counter, a computerized data-logger, and sensors to measure air temperature, solar radiation, wind speed and direction, and relative humidity.

Abstract:
The Tabanidae are a large cosmopolitan family of medically and ecologically important Diptera. Adults of both sexes are important pollinators, and the females are known to mechanically transmit multiple disease agents while blood-feeding, affecting humans and animals. The tribe Scionini of the subfamily Pangoniinae consists of stoutly built and hairy-eyed flies predominantly austral in distribution, occurring in Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand and South America. The Scionini are divided into six recognised genera; Caenopangonia Krober, 1930, Fidena Walker, 1850, Goniops Aldrich, 1892, Pityocera Giglio-Tos, 1896, Scione Walker, 1850, and the widest distributed genus Scaptia Walker, 1850. Scaptia is further divided into seven subgenera; Lepmia Fairchild, 1969, Pseudomelpia Enderlein, 1922, Myioscaptia Mackerras, 1955, Palimmecomyia Taylor, 1917, Plinthina Walker, 1850, Scaptia Walker, 1850, and Pseudoscione Lutz, 1918. The taxonomy of the Scionini has not been revised in over 50 years. Consequently, new material has accumulated in museums corresponding to 18 new species of Scaptia (Plinthina) (5 spp.n.), Scaptia (Pseudoscione) (7 spp.n.), Scaptia (Scaptia) (1 sp.n.), Scaptia (Myioscaptia) (2 spp.n.), and the novel genus Anzomyia Lessard, gen.n. (3 spp.n.), all of which have been described and illustrated herein. Molecular data was employed to provide the first quantitative phylogenetic hypothesis for the Scionini, including the systematic placement of all the tribes in the Pangoniinae. An alignment of six molecular markers, including mitochondrial (COI and COII), ribosomal (28S) and nuclear (AATS, CAD regions 1, 3 and 4) genes, 5757 bp in total, was analysed for 176 taxa using Bayesian and maximum likelihood approaches. Results indicated the Scionini are strongly monophyletic, excluding Caenopangonia and Goniops, which were subsequently removed from the Scionini and reassigned to the Pangoniinae tribes Mycteromyiini and Goniopsinini, Lessard tribe.n., respectively. The South American genera Fidena, Pityocera and Scione were strongly monophyletic, corresponding to current morphology-based classification schemes. Interestingly, Scaptia recovered as broadly paraphyletic, which was corrected by formally raising several subgenera to genus level (Lepmia, Myioscaptia, Palimmecomyia, Plinthina, Pseudomelpia and Pseudoscione), resurrecting previously synonymised genera (Apocampta Schiner, 1867, Copidapha Enderlein, 1922, Parosca Enderlein, 1922, Osca Walker, 1850, and Triclista Enderlein, 1922) and establishing a novel genus from New Zealand (Aotearomyia Lessard, gen.n.). These molecular results were combined with morphological evidence to revise the taxonomy of the entire Scionini, including the redescription of all genera and subgenera, in addition to the development of a novel diagnostic key to all seventeen recognised genera. Divergence time estimates based on the molecular data and the fossil record placed global biogeographic radiations of the Pangoniinae in a temporal context. Results indicated that the Scionini are a typical Gondwanan group and are most likely Australian in origin. Furthermore, the diversification and current biogeography of the tribe appears to be influenced by the ancient fragmentation of Gondwana, involving a complex process of both vicariance and long distance dispersal. Future studies will benefit from more extensive sampling of the South American genera, in particular Fidena, Pityocera and Scione, which require further taxonomic revision and updating of the diagnostic keys to species.

Abstract:
The article provides information on the harmful effect of horseflies (Diptera, Tabanidae) as a midge component and a vector (carrier) transmitting pathogens of infectious and parasitic diseases including zoonosis. Horseflies are harmful to animals and humans in places of their abundance. Horseflies cause significant economic losses to livestock. With an intense attack of horseflies, individual areas of the skin of animals represent a continuous bleeding surface. Horsefly saliva inserted into a wound at the time of the bite is very toxic and allergenic causing a local inflammatory process and general intoxication of the body. The insects are of particular danger as vectors transmitting pathogens of animals and humans. The role of horseflies in the transmission of tularemia in natural foci of this infection has been proven. The sources of horsefly infection are primarily various small mammals including water rats. Horseflies are equally important as carriers of the anthrax pathogen. Causative agents of Coxiella burnetti infection, blackleg, pasteurellosis, and other infections have been isolated from horseflies. Horseflies are involved in the transmission of Trypanosoma evansi in horses and camels, anaplasmosis in cattle, Theileria cervi in reindeer, and equine infectious anemia virus.
