Taxonomic and Host Catalogue of the Tachinidae of America North of Mexico
This is the homepage of a series of web pages that provide taxonomic and host information on the species of Tachinidae (Diptera) of America north of Mexico. The taxonomic information is based primarily on the published catalogue of O'Hara and Wood (2004) but has been updated to include more recent works and is current as of the date at the bottom of this page. The host information is from Arnaud (1978) and has not been updated, although the tachinid names in that work have been modernized elsewhere on this website (see Update of Tachinid Names in Arnaud 1978). The classification given here recognizes 304 genera and about 1350 species of Tachinidae in America north of Mexico. This online catalogue will be updated periodically to reflect published changes in tachinid classification. Cited sources: |
