Hilgardia, 1978, vol. 46, issue 4

Abstract: At the University of California Hopland Field Station in Mendocino County, six species of hematophagous Symphoromyia attacked the Columbian black-tailed deer, Odocoileus bemionus columbianus, during the months of transition (April through June) from the rainy season to the drought season. Between 1964 and 1966, S. pachyceras, S. cervivora, S. inconspicua, S. nana, S. trun-cata, and S. sackeni had similar seasonal patterns of abundance, with each present 6 to 10 weeks.
