Abstract

During studies on tabanid fauna on Marambaia Island, Mangaratiba, Brazil, the authors captured
71specimens of two species of solitaire sand wasps hunting horseflies, Stictia punctata (Fabricius,
1775) and Stictia signata signata (Linnaeus, 1758). Wasps interact with horseflies demonstrating
outstanding behavior, interrupting the hematophagism, which enhances tabanids ability to transmit
pathogenic agents to natural hosts.
