Abstract

The 36 generic and 67 specific names applied to Neotropical Tabanidae (Dipt.) by G. Enderlein are reviewed in connection with a study of his type specimens. 7 genera are retained as useful, 3 are reduced to subgenera, and the remainder considered synonyms. 15 of the specific names are considered valid as proposed, 34 are synonyms, 17 are reduced in rank or placed in other genera, and 1 is a homonym. 22 new specific synonymies and 7 new combinations are proposed.
