The Adolpho Lutz collection of Tabanidae (Diptera): II. Status of the names published without description

Remarks on Record of Chlorotabanus inanis (Fabricius, 1787) (Diptera,Tabanidae) and its Occurrence in Rio de Janeiro Province, Brazil

“…In 1911 Lutz and Neiva recorded Tabanus mexicanus specimens captured in Xerém, Rio de Janeiro, which is included in the new genus Chlorotabanus proposed by Lutz in the same year [2]. Fairchild (1960) examined these specimens and verified that they were specimens of Chlorotabanus inanis (Fabricius), 1787, C. parviceps (Kröber), 1934 and C. ochreus Philip and Fairchild, 1956.This short communication clarifies the status quo of the Chlorotabanus inanis [3]. Lutz and Neiva (1909) published an important contribution to the knowledge of the indigenous fauna of Tabanids providing a list of collected specimens near the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, in Xerém Township, in a marshy ground area, near the root of Serra da Estrela, between February 1907 and February 1908.…”
