Sažetak
On the territory of Eastern Croatia as a part of the Pannonian Plain 13439 specimens of horse flies were collected during the 1992-1998 period. Within this collected sample 45 species were determined. Seasonal abundance was analyzed for 25 species. The peak of abundance was determined for 2 species in the month of May, for 6 species in June, for 10 species in July, for 5 species in August and for 1 species in September. Only the species Tabanus autumnalis showed two peaks of abundance - the first in May and the second in July. All other species had only one peak of abundance in the studied period. Based on the peaks of abundance during the season, 8 species of horse flies were classified as vernal and 16 species were classified as estival species. the longest flying period of 146 days was determined for the species Haematopota subcylindrica. Seven species of horse flies were present at least once throughout the season.
