Pangoniinae Explained

Pangoniinae is a subfamily of horse-flies in the order Diptera, containing at seven tribes and over 40 genera.^[1]

Insects in this subfamily are distinguished from other Tabanidae by possession of ocelli and the antennal flagellum usually has eight rings.^[2]

Tribes and genera

The following listing of genera and tribes is based on Josef Moucha's Synoptic Catalogue,^[1] with tribe Scionini revised as in Lessard (2014) with the creation of two new tribes, Goniopsini and Mycteromyiini.^[3]
