“…Species of Streblidae have a cosmopolitan distribution and exhibit high species diversity in the New World; they are mainly associated with the bat family Phyllostomidae (Dittmar et al, 2006;Dick and Patterson, 2007). In Brazil, 72 species are listed in this dipteran family (Eriksson et al, 2011;Graciolli and Azevedo, 2011;Graciolli and Dick, 2012). These flies can be mobile, since 78% of the species have functional wings (Rui and Graciolli, 2005).…”

We studied infestation rates and parasite-host associations between streblid flies and phyllostomid bats in an Atlantic Forest area of Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil. We captured 301 individuals from seven Phyllostomidae bat species. Out of that total, 69 bats had been parasitised by nine Streblidae species; the most frequent species were Trichobius joblingi and Trichobius tiptoni. The species Paraeuctenodes longipes, associated with Anoura geoffroyi, was the most frequent species. The highest mean intensity was observed for Paraeuctenodes longipes, associated with A. geoffroyi, and Paratrichobius longicrus associated with Artibeus lituratus, both ectoparasite species with a mean intensity of five individuals per bat. Trichobius joblingi exhibited the highest mean abundance, which was over three on its host species. Streblid richness in the study area was similar to the richness found in other studies carried out in the Atlantic Forest. We observed that streblid richness in this biome depends more on inherent characteristics of each physiognomy and on the host-species than on the sampling effort.

Bats of the family Phyllostomidae are common hosts to streblids known as bat flies. Here, we discuss the component community, prevalence and intensity of infection with species of Streblidae on an assemblage of phyllostomid bats in the Cafuringa Environmental Protection Area (APA Cafuringa) in the core area of the Cerrado in Central Brazil. A total of 1 841 streblid individuals of 24 species occurred on 752 bats of 14 species. Ten species of streblids infected Glossophaga soricina (Pallas), whereas seven or fewer streblid species infected the other bat species. Nine bat fly species presented a prevalence of more than 50%, whereas some differences in the abundance of bat flies among hosts were observed. Strebla wiedemanni Kolenati, 1856 and Trichobius furmani Wenzel, 1966 were more host-specific compared to the other streblids, and they occurred in greater abundance on their preferred hosts. Trichobius uniformis Curran, 1935 and Strebla mirabilis (Waterhouse, 1879) were the least host-specific, occurring on five and six hosts, respectively.

“…Pela facilidade de captura e de manipulação do hospedeiro e a melhor visualização dos dípteros sobre o corpo de morcegos, vários artigos têm sido publicados sobre a ocorrência de dípteros ectoparasitos de morcegos no Brasil (por exemplo, Dias et al, 2009;Graciolli & Bianconi, 2007;Graciolli et al, 2010;Lourenço & Esbérard, 2011;Aguiar & Antonini, 2011). Além disso, artigos recentes sobre a taxonomia dessas famílias de dípteros ectoparasitos de morcegos têm facilitado a identificação dos gêneros e das espécies e despertado o interesse de estudantes e pesquisadores (Dick & Miller, 2010;Graciolli, 2004;Graciolli & Azevedo, 2011;Graciolli & Carvalho, 2001a;2001b;Graciolli & Dick, 2012;Graciolli & Moura, 2005), enquanto importantes contribuições sobre a taxonomia de hipoboscídeos neotropicais são mais escassos (Graciolli & Carvalho, 2003;, sendo os mais importantes publicados a mais 40 anos (Bequaert, 1954;Maa, 1969;Peterson & Maa, 1970), por exemplo.…”

“…No continente americano foram registradas dois gêneros e 53 espécies de nicteribiídeos (Graciolli, 2010) e 27 gêneros e 159 espécies de estreblídeos (Dick & Graciolli, 2008;Graciolli & Azevedo, 2011;Graciolli & Dick, 2012;Poinar & Brown, 2012), sendo um gênero e espécie fóssil (Poinar & Brown, 2012). No Brasil, são conhecidas até o momento dois gêneros e 26 espécies e 20 gêneros e 74 espécies (Aguiar et al, 2006;Graciolli et al, 2008Graciolli et al, , 2010Graciolli & Azevedo, 2011;Graciolli & Dick, 2012) de nicteribiídeos e estreblídeos, respectivamente.…”
