Additional Records of Tabanidae ( Horse-Flies) 

 of North Carolina. 



BY C. S. BRIMLEY AND F. SHERMAN, JR., Raleigh, N. C. 



In ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS for October, 1904, the writers 

 published a list of 40 species of Tabanidae then known from 

 North Carolina. Continued collecting since that time has 

 added 20 other species, some of them new. and all but one of 

 which have been named for us by Prof. Jas. S. Hine, to whom 

 we are under renewed obligations. We have, therefore, now 

 on record a total of 60 species for the State, two of which (No. 

 40 of the 1904 list and No. 60 of the present list) have not 

 yet been definitely located. Tabanus allynii has not been col- 

 lected by the writers to date, but all the others have been 

 taken by us or by assistants in the office of the junior author. 

 Specimens of nearly all are in our collections. A few records 

 from Pendleton in 1895 are from collections made by Mr. C. 

 W. Johnson. Rev. A. H. Mauee, at Southern Pines, N. C., 

 has also collected somewhat in this family. 



We have numbered these additional species consecutively 

 with the 1904 list. The letters in parentheses after the name 

 of a locality denote its geographical location in the State : 

 thus, E.=eastern, W.=western, C.=central, E. C. east-cen- 

 tral, etc. We also append new records as to the geographical 

 or seasonal range of some of the species mentioned in the 

 1904 list.
