Abstract
A new species of horse fly (Diptera, Tabanidae), Neavella silvioides sp. nov., is described
and illustrated from one female specimen collected in the South Eastern Desert of
Egypt near Mersa Halaib. The new species is characterized by a broad median callus on
frons occupying two fifth of the breadth of frons. A male specimen of Neavella albipectus
(BIGOT, 1859), also collected in the South Eastern Desert, in Wadi El-Gemal, is recorded.
The material is considered the first record of the genus Neavella for the Egyptian fauna and
therefore also for the Palearctic Region.
