Chlorotabanus is a genus of horse flies in the family Tabanidae.[2][3][4] Though there were earlier descriptions of the genus, they did not fit the qualification of the Code of the International Zoological Nomenclature, thus the genus was officially accepted in 1913 by the scientific community.[5]
Behavior[edit]
All species under this genus are crepuscular and nocturnal.[5]
Description[edit]

Most notable characteristic is that the all species under this genus have a pale green body color and solid colored eyes. Other key features are the sclerotized labella and the lack of a frontal callus.[5]
They resemble Phaeotabanus in structure the most compared to other Tabanids.[6]
Distribution[edit]
Majority of this genus can be found in South America, while only one species (Chlorotabanus crepuscularis) is endemic to North America.[5]
