HORSEFLIES AND ATHERICIDS (DIPTERA: TABANIDAE, ATHERICIDAE) FROM THE LOWER CRETACEOUS OF ENGLAND AND TRANSBAIKALIA

Abstract

New taxa of tabanids and athericids are described from the Lower Cretaceous deposits of England and Transbaikalia. The relationships of new genera to the Recent Athericidae and Recent and fossil Rhagionidae are discussed. Atherix sauneri Theobald, 1937 from the Oligocene of France is removed from the family Athericidae.
