[Horn fly (Muscidae) fauna and ecology in the area of the Baikal-Amur mainline].
4 species of horn flies were recorded from the territory of the Baikal-Amur railway: Stomoxys calcitrans, Haematobia stimulans, Lyperosia irritans and Lyperosia titillans. The autumn horn fly was found to be most widespread and dangerous. It was especially abundant in Priamurje, in the zone of the monsoon climate, where it behaves as a typical pasture species. The behaviour, daily and seasonal dynamics and flight duration (90 to 150 days) of horn flies changes noticeably depending on natural conditions; they all have a broken distribution area here. The cultivation of the Baikal-Amur railway territory by man favours the spread of horn flies over this territory. Most dangerous they are for man and domestic animals in the western and eastern parts of the Baikal-Amur railway.
