The efficiency and the potential species preference for six different horsefly trap types was studied. A total of 2401 horseflies were collected during this study. The most effective trap was the modified box trap with (27.9%), followed by the Nzi trap with (24.5%), Malaise trap (Townes design 1972) with (22.5)%, canopy trap with (17.9%), modified small canopy trap with (7.0%) and Malaise trap (Townes design 1962) with (0.2%). The Nzi and Malaise trap (Townes design 1972) did not differ significantly in the number of collected horseflies. The comparison of all other traps revealed significant differences in the number of collected horseflies. Tabanus bromius was the most abundant species with (58.6%) of the collected sample. The modified box trap was the most successful in collecting of T. bromius, while the Malaise trap (Townes design 1972) was the most successful in collecting the species Haematopota pluvialis, T. maculicornis and T. tergestinus. This study demonstrated that different trap designs influenced the quantity, species and taxonomic diversity of horseflies that were collected. Variables in the trap design included cloth type and colour and size and shape of trap. More detailed studies should be done to determine which factor or factors are most significant.
本研究旨在探究六种不同捕虻器类型的效率和潜在的物种偏好。在这项研究中，共收集了 2401 只虻。最有效的捕虻器是改良的箱式捕虻器，捕获率为 27.9%，其次是 Nzi 捕虻器，捕获率为 24.5%，Malaise 陷阱（Townes 设计 1972），捕获率为 22.5%，天篷捕虻器，捕获率为 17.9%，改良的小天篷捕虻器，捕获率为 7.0%，而 Malaise 陷阱（Townes 设计 1962）的捕获率最低，仅为 0.2%。Nzi 和 Malaise 陷阱（Townes 设计 1972）在捕获虻的数量上没有显著差异。而所有其他陷阱的比较结果显示，捕获虻的数量存在显著差异。采集到的样本中，虻属中最丰富的物种是 Tabanus bromius，占 58.6%。改良的箱式捕虻器在采集 T. bromius 方面最为成功，而 Malaise 陷阱（Townes 设计 1972）在采集 Haematopota pluvialis、T. maculicornis 和 T. tergestinus 方面最为成功。本研究表明，不同的捕虻器设计会影响采集虻的数量、物种和分类多样性。捕虻器设计的变量包括布的类型和颜色以及捕虻器的大小和形状。应该进行更详细的研究，以确定哪些因素是最重要的。
