We aim to investigate the geographical distribution patterns of the infraorder Tabanomorpha and to delimit primary hypotheses of areas of endemism for the group in the Neotropical region. The results were compared to areas of endemism proposed in previous works for other taxa and particularly with the recent Morrone's regionalisation proposal. An endemicity analysis was performed with the ndm/vndm algorithm using 3826 occurrence records for 1361 species of Tabanomorpha. Areas of endemism were established based on a grid size of 6º and consensus cut-off of 42%. We identified 13 areas of endemism comprising five main components: Northern South America (NSA), Southeastern South America (SESA), Central America (CA), Brazilian Savannah (BS), Central Andes (CAn). In a broad sense, the main areas of endemism recovered for Tabanomorpha are congruent with the recent proposals of regionalisation for the Neotropical region.
我们旨在研究虻亚目（Tabanomorpha）的地理分布模式，并界定新热带地区该类群的特有区域的主要假说。将结果与先前针对其他分类群的工作中提出的特有区域进行比较，特别是与最近莫罗内（Morrone）的区域划分提议进行比较。使用虻亚目1361种的3826个出现记录，通过ndm/vndm算法进行了特有性分析。基于6º的网格大小和42%的共识截止值确定了特有区域。我们识别出13个特有区域，包括五个主要组成部分：南美洲北部（NSA）、南美洲东南部（SESA）、中美洲（CA）、巴西大草原（BS）、安第斯山脉中部（CAn）。从广义上讲，虻亚目恢复的主要特有区域与新热带地区最近的区域划分提议一致。
