Tabanus sabuletorum Loew, 1874

This species has Palearctic and Oriental affinity. It was recorded from Europe (European parts of Caucasus to South Ukraine), Kazakhstan, Iran, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, China, and India ( Abbassian-Lintzen 1964). This species was recorded from Saudi Arabia ( Leclercq 1982). The current species prefers forests and steppes, but it can be found on sand dunes and near salt lakes ( Chvála et al. 1972). Andreeva (1994) collected sabuletorum in mountainous places at altitudes up to 1800 m.
