Haematopota is a genus of flies in the horse-fly family, Tabanidae.[2] Among the horse-flies, they are most commonly known as clegs. Many species have colorful, sinuously patterned eyes in life, a character that fades after death. The wings are typically patterned with spots of grey.[3] The genus is named from the Ancient Greek for blood-drinker: αἷμα, haîma, blood; πότης, pótës, drinker.[4] Some species are known to be vectors of livestock diseases.

Species

The genus has more than 500 species mainly in the Old World tropics[5] which include:[6][7]
