Le peuplement simulidien de la Tunisie: I. Inventaire faunistique et biogéographie (Diptera-Nematocera)

Abstract

In this first study, the authors list the Simuliidae collected in the main tunisian hydrographic networks. Nine species are cited for the first time. The biogeographical analysis shows that we are essentially dealing with a palearctic fauna with a west or circum-mediterranean distribution. Ethiopian and oriental elements are poorly represented. © Masson, 1986.
