Species composition and distribution of blood-sucking Diptera insects of the Tyumen region

Abstract

As a result of the analysis of literature data and materials from many years of our research, 108 species and 1 subspecies of blood-sucking dipterous insects were found to live in the Tyumen region. The horsefly fauna consists of 35 species and 1 subspecies belonging to 6 genera, blood-sucking mosquitoes are represented by 40 species of 5 genera, blood-sucking midges - 16 species of 10 genera, blood-sucking biting midges - 17 species of the 1st genus. The greatest species diversity is characteristic of the subzone of small-leaved aspen-birch forests, where 95 species and 1 subspecies are found. To date, the fauna of dipterans subzones of the middle taiga remains poorly studied. The group of dominants in the southern taiga is represented by horseflies H. ciureai, H. bimaculata, H. muehlfeldi and H. pluvialis, mosquitoes A. cantans, midges B. maculatus and S. pusilla, wood lice C. punctatus. In the subzone of small-leaved aspen-birch forests, horseflies T. bromius, A. fulvus, A. rusticus, H. ciureai, H. bimaculata, H. pluvialis and H. subcylindrica, mosquitoes A. cinereus and A. cantans, midges B. maculatus and S. pusilla, woodlices C. punctatus. The dominant species in the forest-steppe zone are horseflies T. bromius, T. bovinus, H. ciureai, H. bimaculata, H. pluvialis and H. subcylindrica, mosquitoes A. punctor and A. cantans, midges B. maculatus, S. pusilla and B. erythrocephala, woodlices C. punctatus.
