Abstract EN
Samples were collected from southern, central and eastern regions of Saudi Arabia using Malaise traps and sweep nets.
Nine species of Tabanidae were identified, two for the first time from Saudi Arabia, Hybomitra peculiaris (Szila´ dy) and Atylotus pulchellus (Loew).
Therefore, the total number of Tabanidae in Saudi Arabia is 31 species.
Remarks of the species recorded in this study were given.
A key to the genera of Tabanidae occurring in the Arabian Peninsula is also provided.
Available literature for Saudi Arabian Tabanidae is summarized and provided.
It is concluded that the tabanid fauna of Saudi Arabia is more similar to that of the Palaearctic region than to the Afrotropical region.
