Abstract
Suction blacklight trappings have been conducted at Bet Dagan since 19 78. Tabanus arenivagus has been caught only during 1992-94. Seventy-on e specimens, all females, were caught by these traps, demonstrating th at females are attracted to the wavelength range of 340-380 nm radiate d by the mercury-vapor lamps of these traps. This constitutes a new fi nding among the Tabanidae species of the Mediterranean region.
