          Schomberg]

[1983 Stone et al.]

1996 Goodwin & Drees

notes:

-larvae in mud around roots of grass in drainage areas (Goodwin 1973b in Goodwin & Drees 1996)

-most pre 1962 records of Tabanus quinquevittatus in Texas are probably Tabanus eadsi (Thompson & Pechuman 1970)

-some specimens identified as Tabanus quinquevittatus in East Texas may have been Tabanus mularis, especially before 1935 when T. mularis was first described (Thompson & Pechuman 1975)
