“…Faunistic data of H. italica were recently published from several sites in Bulgaria (Ganeva 2005(Ganeva , 2006(Ganeva , 2011. T. tergestinus is abundant in the Surnena Sredna Gora Mountains and the Chirpan Mountains in Bulgaria (Ganeva 2011, Ganeva & Kalmushka 2012, but can also be found in the rest of the country (Ganeva 2005(Ganeva , 2006(Ganeva , 2017Ganeva & Kalmushka 2019). They were caught in significant numbers on the Pannonian plain (Krčmar 1999a), while a smaller proportion was found in the Drava angle (Krčmar 2005a).…”

“…At the same time, it was the second most abundant species in the Mediterranean areas of Croatia (Krčmar 1999b). T. autumnalis is widespread, but nowhere massive in the Balkans (Krčmar 1999a, Ganeva 2011, Ganeva & Kalmushka 2012, 2019. On the other hand, T. bromius is one of the determinant elements of the horse-fly communities (Ganeva 2006(Ganeva , 2017.…”

Horse-flies were collected with "H-trap" type traps in order to better understand the distribution of domestic species at seven sampling locations in Southern Transdanubia, in the summer of 2019. Individuals of 21 species were identified in the collected material. Haematopota italica, H. pluvialis, Tabanus autumnalis, T. bromius, T. sudeticus, T. tergestinus and Atylotus loewianus proved to be the most common and at the same time the largest number of species collected. The tabanid communities consisted of 9-14 species, with 2-5 eudominant species which were always present, and the number of subdominant species were also significant, while the proportion of dominant, recedents and subrecedents species proved to be variable.

“…The peak of seasonal abundance was observed in the first half of July. Tabanus quatuornotatus, T. tergestinus and Philipomyia graeca were the most widespread species (Ganeva & Kalmushka, 2019). In the territory of Eastern Croatia in 1992-1998, the seasonal activity was analyzed for 25 species of Tabanidae.…”

In a changing climate, phenological observations are gaining new importance. They can tell what changes are taking place in certain environmental conditions. The studies were conducted in 2019 within the territory of the Republic of Mordovia (the center of the European part of Russia). Beer traps (beer as a bait) were used to collect Diptera. The material was collected in the period from April to October in different forest biotopes (pine forest, lime forest, aspen forest, birch forest and oak forest) and the air temperature was recorded at the same time. In total, more than 14.000 specimens of Diptera were recorded. Overall, 29 families were recorded. The largest number of families was observed for birch (23 families) and pine (24 families) forests, the smallest number – in aspen forest (16 families). The families Muscidae, Drosophilidae, Calliphoridae had the largest number of captured individuals (44.5%, 35.2%, 7.6% of the total number of individuals respectively). The highest number of individuals was captured in oak forest. The dynamics of abundance in all biotopes were similar and were characterized by the same number of declines and rises. The first small significant peak in the number of Diptera occurred in the first half of summer. A slight increase in the number of specimenі occurred in mid-June. In the second half of September, there was a gradual increase in the number and the maximum peak was recorded in mid-October, then there was a decline. The autumn increase in the number of Diptera in all five biotopes exceeded the summer peak by several times. This dynamic was typical for most families. However, species from the family Lonchaeidae had the peak in July. For our better understanding of the changes in the seasonal dynamics of the number of Diptera, long-term observations in different climatic zones are needed.
