Abstract
The salt marsh greenhead, Tabanus nigrovittatus (Diptera Tabanidae), long suspected of being composed of several cryptic species, has been examined by starch gel electrophoresis of enzymes. Adult flies from four localities in New Jersey were separable into two genetically distinct species, based on three fixed locus differences. Total length was significantly different between the two species. The larger species is probably the “ T. sp.3 ” referred to in previous studies.
