NO. 3 NEOTROPICAL FLIES, TABANIDAE — FAIRCHILD 7 



Tabanus nigripalpis Macq. 1845, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. i : 40, pi. 4, figs. 7-8. New 



Grenada. Coll. Bigot. Placed by Krober (i93ii, 1934) in Catachlorops, near 



nijescens Fab. A specimen, headless, in Mus. Paris labeled as rujescens by 



Macquart does not disagree with the description, which appears to be based 



on two different species. 

 Pangonia nigronotata Macq. 1850, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. 4:27. Mexico. Seen 



in Mus. Paris by Philip and discussed by him (1954b). 

 Tabanus olivaceivcntris Macq. 1847, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. 2: 18. Brazil, Para. Coll. 



de Villiers. 

 Tabanus opulenUis Wlk. 1848, List, i : 148. Loc? B. M. 

 Tabanus ontatifrons Krober 1930, Dipt. Pat. S. Chile, 5 (2) : 153. Chile. B. M. 



Apparently not returned by Krober. 

 Pangonia planiventris Macq. 1850, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. 4 : 23. Mexico. Placed by 



Krober (1934) as a possible synonym of saussurei Bell. In Nearctic Coll. at 



Mus. Paris, where seen by Philip (i9S4b). 

 Tabanus planus Wlk. 1850, Dipt. Saund., 1:61. Loc? B. M. 

 Pangonia prasiniventris Macq. 1846, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. i : 29. Colombia. Coll. 



Fairmaire. A specimen ex Coll. Bigot in B. M. is determined by Macquart 



and can be made neotype if the original fails to turn up. 

 Tabanus pubescens Wlk. 1854, List, 5 : 220. Brazil. B. M. A homonym of T. pu- 



bescens Strom 1768, and Macquart 1847. 

 Tabanus pudens Wlk. 1850, Dipt. Saund., i : 36. Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. Lutz 



(igoy) =: occidentalis Wied. Listed as (Neotabaniis) by Krober (1934), but 



he saw no specimens. 

 Tabanus redactus Wlk. 1850, Dipt. Saund., i : 66. Loc? B. M. 

 Tabanus ruber Macq. 1845, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. i : 42. Mexico. Coll. Guerin. 



A homonym of T. ruber Thunb. 1827. Renamed subruber by Bellardi, 1859. 



May be among Nearctic species in Mus. Paris. 

 Pangonia rufa Macq. 1838, Dipt. Exot., 1(1): no. Lima (Peru). Coll. Serville. 



There are specimens determined by Bigot and Krober in B. M. 

 Tabanus scutellatus Macq. 1839, Dipt. Exot, i (2) : 186. Loc? Mus. Paris. 



Krober (1934) claims to have seen the type and says ii=z macula Macq., but 



I was unable to find it and doubt the synonymy. In any case scutellatus has six 



years' priority. 

 Tabanus secundus Wlk. 1848, List, i : 180. Loc? B. M. 

 Tabanus subsenex Wlk. 1850, Dipt. Saund., i : 38. S. America. B. M. Lutz 



(1907) = triangulunt Wied. 

 Tabanus surinamensis Macq. 1838, Dipt. Exot., 1 (i) : 132. Surinam. Coll. Ser- 

 ville. The description suggests T. nebulosus de Geer. Krober (1934) placed in 



Tabanus with a query. 

 Pangonia translucens Macq. 1845, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. i : 26. Brazil. Coll. Guerin. 



The species has long been placed in Esenbeckia. (Krober, 1934; Fairchild, 



I942d). 

 Tabanus trifarius Macq. 1838, Dipt. Exot., i (i):i44. Chile. Coll. Serville. 



Genotype of Archiplatius End. Krober (1934) as Agelanius. 

 Tabanus trifasciatus Macq. 1834, Hist. Nat. Dipt., 1 : 204. Loc? Coll. Percheron. 



T. austeni var. trifasciatus Szil. 1915, appears to be a homonym. 

 Tabanus variventris Macq. 1847, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. 2: 18. Brazil. Coll. Spinola. 



There is a specimen in Mus. Paris labeled by Macquart as "7". erythrogaster 



Colomb." and also as "T. variventris J. Macq. 2e. Suppl. Colombie." The
