( Figure 34 )

Tabanus argentivittatus huallagensis Fairchild, 1976: 245 , fig. 3; Wilkerson & Fairchild, 1985: 51 ( Peru spp.); Fairchild & Burger, 1994: 131 (cat.); Coscarón & Papavero, 2009: 124 (cat.).

Diagnosis. As T. argentivittatus , but a pale form. Fore coxae and femora black, the remainder brownish yellow.

Comments. To the present moment, it may be differentiated from T. argentivittatus by the general color of the body and geographic distribution, since both morphotypes have not been collected in the same area. The only register of T. argentivittatus huallagensis is the type-material and being restricted to valleys from Peru in Huánuco. Holotype was examined through photos, available at the MCZ database.
