lected in June, July and August at 6 stations in the Mediterranean and in the continental parts of Croatia. Several male specimens were collected on the station in Sunger at 9.30 a.m. on sun-lit electric pylons, some 60 cm above ground. The pylons were in a forest compriting beeches and firs of the association Abieti-Fagetum illyricum, the air temperature was 20°C. Several males were also collected on the station in Borovik while they were alighting on a red car parked on the margin of a forest consisting of oak and plain hornbeam trees of the association Querco-Carpinetum croaticum. Two males of Tabanus bromius were collected by means of a net as they alighting on a red car in a beech forest on the station Oltári in the Velebit mountain, 1400 m above the sea level. Males of Tabanus exclusus were collected on 9 stations with complexes of oak-trees Quercus pubescens in the Mediterranean part of Croatia in the months of July and August. They were in most cases collected by means of a net on a red car in the afternoons when the air temperature was 25°C. Males of Tabanus glaucopis were collected in July and August at the station in Borovik. They were caught by means of a net as they were alighting on a red car parked on sun-lit paths in a forest consisting of oak-trees and plain hornbeams of the association Querco-Carpinetum croaticum. Most of the male specimens of Tabanus glaucopis were collected at the station in Senj, on the margin of a forest consisting of oaktrees and white hornbeams of the association Querco-Carpinetum orientális, the air temperature was 25°C. Males of Tabanus shannonellus were collected in July, in the morning hours, at the air temperature of 24°C while they were alighting on a red car parked in a complex of oak-trees Quercus pubescens. A few dead specimens were collected at the end of August on the sandy beach in Bol on the island of Brae. One male of Tabanus spectabilis was caught on a July morning on the window of a restaurant in the immediate vicinity of the Krka National Park, the air temperature was 24°C. Males of Tabanus spodopterus were collected in July in the Mediterranean part of Croatia in complexes of oak-trees Quercus pubescens. Some of the specimens of Tabanus spodopterus collected at the station in Donji Dolac were caught in the morning, on the ground next to a fresh water spring. The next day, around 9 a.m., two males were collected by means of a sweeping net as they alighted on a red car parked at the station in Barise Draga beside the Adriatic highway, the air temperature was 22°C. The species Tabanus sudeticus was Table 3.
