''Tabanus'' is a genus of biting horse-fly, horseflies of the family Horse-fly, Tabanidae. Females have scissor-like Insect mouthparts, mouthparts that aim to cut the skin. The horsefly can then lap up the blood. Horseflies of this genus are known to be potential vectors of anthrax, worms and Trypanosoma, trypanosomes. Some species, such as ''Tabanus bovinus'', prefer bovine animals and are less harmful to humans. The genus contains hundreds of species and many species groups.
