“…Dipteran subsamples (mostly per family) were subsequently disseminated among experts worldwide, in the case of Tabanidae to TKK and ALH. The identification of the tabanid species was conducted by ALH and TKK using taxonomical reviews and identification keys (Barretto 1950, Fairchild and Philip 1960, Fairchild 1976, Wilkerson and Fairchild 1982, Fairchild 1983, 1984, 1985, Gorayeb and Fairchild 1985, Fairchild and Wilkerson 1986, Burger 1996, Henriques and Gorayeb 1999, Henriques 2006, Krolow and Henriques 2010, Turcatel et al 2010, Krolow et al 2015), original descriptions, and direct comparison to reliably identified species from the Invertebrates Collection of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Manaus, Brazil (INPA) and the Entomological Collection of the Universidade Federal do Tocantins, Porto Nacional, Brazil (CEUFT). All collected material was stored in 70% alcohol during the expedition, being dry mounted on pins only about 11 months later in the laboratory.…”
