Abstract

The paper deals with the species composition, life cycles, structure of the fauna, and biodiversity of black flies (Diptera, Simuliidae) in different types of streams in the central Russian forest-steppe. Complexes of black flies in different types of streams are rather similar but faunas differ in the dominance structure.
