Abstract

Keds of the genus Hippobosca Linnaeus, 1758 (family Hippoboscidae Samouelle, 1819) are parasites of mammals. Their range includes the Palaearctic, Afrotropical, and Oriental kingdoms. Currently, there are no published data on the fauna of this group in the Crimean Peninsula. Examination of the material from the collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University, as well as collections by A.A. Przhiboro in the Crimean National Park, showed that the predominant species in southern Crimea in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was H. equina Linnaeus, 1758, a parasite of horses and cattle. Hippobosca longipennis, whose main hosts are dogs and foxes, was also reported at that time. The observed decline in the abundance of Hippobosca equina in Crimea obviously resulted from the decreasing abundance of horses after they had been largely replaced by motorcars.
