Tabanids in South America

“…Larvae and pupae of Fidena (Laphriomyia) rufopilosa (Ricardo) were found in phytotelmata of terrestrial bromeliads Canistrum lindenii (Regel) Mez, Nidularium innocentii Lemaire e Vriesea friburgensis (Mez), that grow on granitic rocks in secondary Atlantic forest, Brazilian southeast [96]. (Lutz, 1911) This comprises three species with femora and tibiae densely covered by long and conspicuous hairs [35]. There are three recognized species: Fidena (Laphriomyia) kroeberi Fairchild (previously in subgenus Fidena), Fidena (Laphriomyia) mirabilis Lutz, 1911 (subspecies of rufopilosa [20] or rufopilosus [11]), Fidena (Laphriomyia) polidetarsis Kröber (a synonym of silvatica) were elected as species of this subgenus [66].…”

“…Henriques and Krolow described Catachlorops (Rhamphidommia) dubius Henriques and Krolow, the first species of the subgenus in Amazonian subregion, Madeira province, and provided a key to determine the species within subgenus [115]. (Lutz, 1909) This was created to Tabanus mexicanus Linnaeus, without providing a description or point type species, not meeting the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature [116]. The same paper was reprinted in 1911, keeping the faults [117].…”

The taxonomy of Brazilian insects vectors of transmissible diseases (1900-2000) - then and now

“…Tabanidae -Not surprisingly, Adolpho Lutz was the responsible for the commencement of the studies of horseflies in Brazil (Lutz 1905a, 1909a,b, 1911, 1912, 1913a, 1913c, 1914a, 1914c, 1915, Lutz & Neiva 1914, inclusive of their immature stages (a study which, unfortunately, never had followers among us), most of the species superbly illustrated in colours, of a quality never more equalled; his collection was throroughly revised by Fairchild (1961). Many other authors contributed to the knowledge of the taxonomy of the group.…”

“…Eggs and young larvae described by Lutz (1914) of an unknown Brazilian species which he supposes may belong to the tabanids, probably belong to a leptid species.…”
