Extract

Horse flies and deer flies were collected throughout the spring and summer of 1955 by the author and others in the vicinity of the Wildlife Research Station, Algonquin Park, Ontario. These collections include 2,712 females of 15 Chrysops species, three males and 278 females of 13 Tabanus species and one female of Stonemyia tranquilla (O. S.). However, tabanids collected in other years from the Park have been studied as well. In 1955 T . trepidus McD. (35%) and T. epistates O. S. (15%) together accounted for half the Tabanus species collected, and C. vittata Wied. (23%), C. montana O. S. (16%) and C. wiedemanni Kröber (15%) for more than half the species of Chrysops (Table 11).
