Tabanus terminalis Walker View in CoL
Tabanus terminalis Walker, 1871: 255 .
Type locality. Mount Sinai ( Egypt).
Diagnosis. Female: Red species; frons in females with a shining brown callus; thorax with 2 blackish stripes; wing veins black, R4 without appendix; abdomen with 2 blackish stripes.
Local distribution. Sinai.
Geographical distribution. Egypt.
Remarks. Moucha (1971) mentioned that the type specimen of this species is lost and not present in the British Museum (Natural History), London. Müller et al. (2012) listed this species as doubtful, based on both Efflatoun (1930) and Chvàla (1988) who placed it under Tabanidae of doubtful origin. In our study, we have included this species in the Egyptian fauna, because of the type locality in the original description which was given by Walker (1871) as Mount Sinai.
