Haematopota is a genus of flies in the horse-fly family, Tabanidae. [4] 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. [5] The genus is named from the Ancient Greek for blood-drinker: αἷμα, haîma, blood; πότης, pótës, drinker. [6] Some species are known to be vectors of livestock diseases. [7]
