cincticornis

*Chrysops cincticornis*				Reference
This is a common deer fly in spring with an early flight season similar to C. mitis. It is an annoying man-biting species found throughout southern Ontario to the Maritimes. It is also widely distributed in the eastern USA. Larval habitats are associated with a wide variety of streams, ponds and lakes (Teskey, 1990).

C. cincticornis represented 16.5% of the catch of tabanids at Caledonia in Ontario (Troubridge & Davies, 1975), with many parous flies early in the flight season, and some captures of biparous flies. In contrast, the species was uncommon at Algonquin Park in Ontario (Davies, 1959; Bennett & Smith, 1968; Smith et al., 1970) and at Trois Rivi�res in Quebec (Baribeau & Marie, 1983). It is recorded from the Maritimes, but appears to be rare (Lewis & Bennett, 1977). C. cincticornis has also been recorded in various studies in the USA, but mostly in small numbers (Bartlett et al., 2002). Tallamy et al. (1976) found it to be the most common deer fly in traps at Deer Lake in New Jersey, but it was only a minor component of catches using aerial netting. Leprince et al. (1983) obtained some data on male behaviour in Quebec. Magnarelli and Anderson (1981) documented sugar feeding and reproduction in Connecticut in a sample of 39 flies. Magnarelli et al. (1982) documented oviposition behaviour and fecundity in Virginia. Teskey (1969) and Pechuman (1981) provide information on the biology of immatures and their habitats and Tidwell & Hays (1971) provide information on oviposition preferences. Foil (1989) quoted an association between this species and transmission of California encephalitis virus. Krinsky & Pechuman (1975) cultured epimastigote trypanosomes from this species in New York that were most likely bovid Trypanosoma theileri parasites.
