Streblid flies parasitizing cave bats in Carajás, Amazonia, with a new record for Brazil

Abstract: Streblid flies (Diptera: Streblidae) are hematophagous and highly specialized parasitic insects, found only on bats (Chiroptera). Caves are important roosts for bats but, despite harboring high bat richness, relatively few studies exist on the ecology and biology of streblid flies in cave environments, especially in Amazonia, the largest domain in northern Brazil, with >140 bat species and thousands of caves. To fill some of the gaps in the geographical distribution and interspecific relationships for streb… Show more

“…In our study area, L. mordax colonies were observed using caves as a day roost (Leal and Bernard, 2021). The high load and prevalence of streblid flies observed on this host species may be related to the type of roost it uses (Patterson et al ., 2007; Barbier and Bernard, 2023).…”
