*alteripenms Wlk. i860, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 5: 275. (Tabanus) B. M.(H) 



= T. caliginosus Bell. 1859, Hine (1925). Fairchild (i953) as (Philipo- 



tabanus). Philip (1954). 

 ♦altivagus O. S. 1886, Biol. Cent.-Amer., Dipt., 1:45. (Chrysops) B. M. 

 *anwbilis Wlk. 1848, List, 1:154. (Tabanus) B. M. = T. (Hybomitra) quad- 



ripunctatus Fab. 1805. Krober (1934). 

 ♦angustifrons Krob. 1930, Zool. Anz., 90(3-4) : 74. (Diachlorus) B. M. = 



? D. ochraceus Krob. 1928. Not Macquart 1850. Type appears teneral and 



may be composite. (N.S.) 

 *angustijrons Macq. 1847, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. 3:12. (Tabanus) B. M.(H) = 



? T. albibarbis Wied. See remarks under alboater Wlk. (N.S.) 

 *angustifrons Towns. 1895, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, 22: 59. (Tabanus) B. M. = 



T. townsendi Johns., nom. nov. = T. luciduhts Beq. 1940 in part. = T. lu-

 *apicalis Macq. 1847, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. 2:20. (Tabanus) B. M.(H). Two 



specimens labeled type and paratype, the first bearing a Macquart label. The 



species was described as headless, but the present type has its own head. The 



paratype has head glued on. It is possible that Bigot or someone else glued 



a head of this group onto the true type and switched the label to the more 



perfect specimen. The type above agrees with "bigoti var. B," the paratype 



with "bigoti var. A" of Fairchild (1942). = T. bigoti Bell., nom. nov.

is probably the one from Para mentioned in original description. = Diachlorus

Pangonia haustellata (Fab.) 1781. Palearctic. Philip (1954). 

 attenuatus Wlk. 1848, List, i: 159. (Tabanus) B. M. Probably Oriental; does
