NO. 3 NEOTROPICAL FLIES, TABANIDAE FAIRCHILD 3I 



*unifasciata Macq. 1838, Dipt. Exot., 1(1): 119. (Dichelacera) M. P.(H). 



Barretto (1949b) with *limbata Big., trigonotaenia Lutz and soror Krob. as 



syns. 

 *unipunctatus Big. 1892, 5:663. (Atylotus) B. M.(H) = *Tabanus (Lopho- 



tabanus) piraticus Fchld. 1942. (N.S.) Philip (1952) = T. jilamensis 



Hine. Not T. (L.) unipitnctatus, Krob. 1929. Jilamensis Hine appears to be 



distinct. See Fairchild 1942a. 

 *uniznttatus Macq. 1855, Dipt. Exot., Suppl. 5:30. (Tabanus) B. M.(H) = 



♦Tabanus desertus Wlk. 1850. (N.S.) 

 *vaciUans Wlk. 1850, Dipt. Saund., 1:70. (^Dichelacera) B. M.(H) = ? Cata- 



chlorops capreolus Wied. 1828. (N.S.) Krober (1934) as synonym of potator 



Wied, 1828. Not vacillans, Barr. 1946. The type keys out to capreolus in 



Barretto's key (1946). Lutz (1907) = /'Otofor Wied. 

 *valterii Macq. 1838, Dipt. Exot., 1(2): 184. {Tabanus) M. P. Related to 



cinerarius Wied. and importunus Wied. but apparently distinct. 

 *varius Wlk. 1848, List, 1:209. (Diabasis) B. M.(H) = Scaptia. Ricardo 



(1904) as ? Diatomincura. Krober {i()2,o'k) =^ Calliosca schoenemanii End. 



genotype. 

 *rariprs Wlk. 1854, List, 5, Suppl. 1:298. (Chrysops) B. M.(H) =: Dia- 



chlorus curvipes Fab. 1805, Ricardo (1901). 

 *varipes Wlk. 1857, Trans. Linn. Soc. London, 17(3): 337. (Tabanus) B. M. 



Krober (1934) = ? ? Tabanus. Subepaulet setose, a small vertical tubercle, 



eyes sparsely short pilose under high magnification. Looks Nearctic or 



Palearctic to me. 

 *venenatus O. S. 1886, Biol. Centr.-Amer., Dipt., 1:53. (Tabanus) B. M.(H) 



= Rhabdotylus, Krober (1934) = Amphiclorops. Fairchild (1942b) = 



Stibasoma. Very close to *Rhab. viridiventris Macq. 

 ♦venosus Big. 1892, 5:685. (Tabanus) B. M.(H) = *Stenotabanus maculi- 



pennis (Krob.) 1929. (N.S.) Krober (1930a) as Stypommia, but his 



venosus not same species as the type. St. pequeniensis Fchld. 1942 also close. 

 *viduus Wlk. 1850, Newman's Zoologist, 8, App., p. Ixviii. (Tabanus) B. M.(H) 



= *Tabanus basivitta Wlk. 1850. (N.S.) Krober (i93oh) = r. (Lopho- 



tabanus) lividus Wlk. 1848, but this latter = importunus Wied., in my 



opinion, 

 ♦viridiventris Macq. 1838, Dipt. Exot., 1(1): 112. (Pangonia) M. P.(H) = 



(Pseudoscione). Enderlein (1922, 1925) as Parosca genotype. Krober 



(1930k) as Parosca; (1934) as Lisirapha. 

 *viridiventris Macq. 1838, Dipt. Exot., 1(1): 141. (Tabanus) M. P.(H) = 



Rhabdotylus. Close to venenatus O. S. and planiventris Wied. Carrera and 



Lane (i945). 



SUMMARY 



A study of the type specimens of Neotropical Tabanidae preserved 

 in the British Museum of Natural History in London and the Museum 

 d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris is reported. The types or type material 

 of 335 species were seen and an attempt made to place them generi- 

 cally. New synonymy is proposed in about 70 cases and new generic 

 or subgeneric placement in 76 cases. Three new names are proposed
