Atylotus Fulvus
''Atylotus fulvus'' is a species of 'horse flies' belonging to the family Horse-fly, Tabanidae. Description The head of ''Atylotus'' is more strongly spherical than in ''Tabanus'' and the eyes (in preserved specimens) are usually light brown, often with a faint trace of a thin purple line. The frontal calli of ''Atylotus'' are characteristic: the two calli are small, widely separated, and very low in profile. Both of ''A.fulvus'' are covered with golden yellow hairs, which are vivid and colourful in life. The abdomen is reddish at sides, basally. No distinct abdominal pattern is visible unless the covering of mingled black and yellow hairs is rubbed away. In this species the calli are small and sometimes absent.

Atylotus Agrestis
''Atylotus agrestis'' is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae. Distribution Originally described as ''Tabanus agrestis'' in 1828 by Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann from a series of specimens collected in Egypt. Widespread in Palearctic and Afrotropical realms. Presently widely distributed from Egypt and Cyprus westwards to Libya and Algeria, and eastwards through Saudi Arabia and Iraq to India, Sri Lanka, and China. In the last decades Atylotus agrestis continuously extended its distribution northwards: it recently became abundant in northeastern Algeria, from where it was absent in 1987, and since the late 1990’s it has been regularly recorded from the Sinai Peninsula, in Israel along the coastal plain and the Rift Valley, and a few years later it appeared in Lebanon and in Saudi Arabia. In Europe the species was first observed in Cyprus in 2015 and in the following years it was confirmed to be a stable element of the local fauna, the first record from Italy, th ...

Harold Oldroyd
Harold Oldroyd (24 December 1913 – 3 September 1978) was a British entomologist. He specialised in the biology of flies, and wrote many books, especially popular science that helped entomology to reach a broader public. His ''The Natural History of Flies'' is considered to be the "fly Bible". Although his speciality was the Diptera, he acknowledged that they are not a popular topic: "Breeding in dung, carrion, sewage and even living flesh, flies are a subject of disgust...not to be discussed in polite society". It was Oldroyd who proposed the idea of hyphenating the names of true flies (Diptera) to distinguish them from other insects with "fly" in their names. Thus, the "house-fly", " crane-fly" and " blow-fly" would be true flies, while the "dragonfly", " scorpion fly" and so on belong to other orders. He also debunked the calculation that a single pair of house-flies, if allowed to reproduce without inhibitions could, within nine months, number 5.6 trillion individuals, enough t ...

Hermann Loew
Friedrich Hermann Loew (19 July 1807 – 21 April 1879) was a German entomologist who specialised in the study of Diptera, an order of insects including Fly, flies, mosquitoes, gnats and midges. He described many world species and was the first specialist to work on the Diptera of the United States. Biography Early years Hermann Loew was born in Weissenfels, Saxony a short distance south of Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, Halle (Germany). The Loew family, though not wealthy, was well-placed. Loew's father was a functionary for the Department of Justice of the Duchy of Saxony who later became a ''Geheimer Regierungsrath'' of Prussia. Between 1817 and 1829 Loew attended first the Convent School of Rossleben, then the University of Halle-Wittenberg, graduating in mathematics, philology and natural history. Teacher, tutor and husband Recognizing his abilities as a mathematician, the university, on his graduation, appointed him as a lecturer in the same subjects. In 1830 he went to Berlin and ...
