In this paper, the habitats of Tabanidae larvae in West Anatolia were studied for the first time. The larvae of 25 horse flies species and subspecies had been collected in several points differed by biotopical conditions and identified. Descriptions of new subspecies of Haematopota pallens bozdagensis ssp. nova, and its larva as well as unknown earlier larvae of Tabanus portschinskii Olsufjev, 1937, Philipomyia graeca Fabricius, 1794, Dasyrhamphis carbonarius Meigen, 1820 and Nemorius abbassianae Leclercq, 1960 were given.
