“…Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) was infested by P. longicrus, differently of what other works found out in the Cerrado (Komeno & Linhares, 1999;Eriksson et al, 2011;Santos et al, 2013;Figueiredo et al, 2015;Barbier & Graciolli, 2016), with exception of works in Goiás and Distrito Federal (Coimbra et al, 1983). In this domain, P. longicrus is usually associated to P. lineatus, being probably a different species from what occurs on Artibeus planirostris and A. lituratus .…”

ABSTRACT. We described infracommunities, prevalence and mean intensity of infestation of ecotoparasite fl ies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) on bats in an ecotone area of Cerrado as predominant vegetation, with infl uence of Atlantic Forest, in the southeast of Mato Grosso do Sul. In 36 sampling nights between April 2015 and August 2016 (23,328 m².h), we captured 17 bat species, of which ten were infested, and 14 species of fl y. The most abundant bats were the phyllostomids Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and the most abundant fl ies were the streblids Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 and Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) was the bat species that presented the highest infestation rate. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoff roy, 1810) and Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoff roy, 1810) were not infested. Besides that, the frequency of bats that were infested by a single species of fl y was higher than the frequency of bats infested for two or more, and it may be a pattern.

Better knowledge of the geographical distribution of parasites and their hosts can contribute to clarifying aspects of host specificity, as well as on the interactions among hosts, parasites, and the environment in which both exist. Ectoparasitic flies of the Nycteribiidae and Streblidae families are highly specialized hematophagous parasites of bats, whose distributional patterns, species richness, and associations with hosts remain underexplored and poorly known in Brazil. Here, we used information available in the literature and unpublished data to verify if the occurrence of bat hosts in a given environment influences the occurrence and distribution of nycteribiid and streblid flies in different ecoregions in the northeastern Brazil. We evaluate species richness and similarity between ecoregions and tested correlations between species richness and the number of studies in each ecoregion and federative unit. We recorded 50 species and 15 genera of bat ectoparasitic flies on 36 species and 27 genera of bat hosts. The Atlantic Forest had the highest fly species richness (n = 31; 62%), followed by Caatinga (n = 27; 54%). We detected the formation of distinct groups, with low species overlap between ecoregions for both flies and bats. Fly species richness was correlated with host species richness and with the number of studies in each federative unit, but not with the number of studies by ecoregion. Due to the formation of distinct groups with low species overlap for both groups, host availability is likely to be one of the factors that most influence the occurrence of highly specific flies. We also discuss host specificity for some species, produced an updated list of species and distribution for both nycteribiid and streblid flies with information on interaction networks, and conclude by presenting recommendations for more effective inventories of bat ectoparasites in the future.
