Abstract:

For the first time, the place of brood in conditions of the middle taiga of Western Siberia have been identified for 6 horseflies species: Chrysops relictus Meigen, 1820, Ch. nigripes Zetterstedt, 1840, Haematopota pluvialis (Linnaeus, 1761), Haematopota subcylindrica Pandelle, 1883, Tabanus bovinus Linnaeus, 1758, Hybomitra ciureai (Seguy, 1937). The place of brood of the preimaginal developmental phases can be attributed to the following types: floodplain meadows, lowland marshes, and small reservoirs located near cattle grazing sites.
