Abstract

The potential fecundity and body size were evaluated in Haematopota italica Meig. from the analysis of ovariole number and wing length in 460 field-collected females. This correlation looks representative (r=0.618) and the population potential fecundity without disection can be deduced. It has a very great deal importante, for field biology, in order to know the role played by tabanids in the posible disease transmission from cattle or man.
