As far as the reporters know some observations about infestation
of equine with Castrophilus species in Turkey were made and the
presence of sevel'a! common species were reported previously (ı, 4,
5, 7), but the reference with respect to the occurrence of C. meridionalis and C. nigricornis İs not available. Therefore this is a first report
concerning the infestations of G.nigricornıs and G.meridionalis and their
prevalences in Turkey.
The adult fly of C.nigricornis was found in Bcssarabia and
Siberia and described by Loew for the fırst time. After that it was
seen by Brauer in the Crimea and the Cobi desert (8). The life cycle
and pathogenicity of this species were studied by Chereshnev (3, 8).
