Bat flies are haematophagous ectoparasites, highly specialised to bats and are also considered to have vectorial potential for several pathogens likeBartonellaspp. orPolychromophilusspp. In Romania, past studies mostly focused on the ectoparasitic fauna of cave-dwelling bats, listing the occurrence of 10 bat fly species in the country, with only scarce information on bat flies infesting crevice-roosting bat species. Here we report the occurrence ofBasilia italica, a rare nycteribiid species infesting primarily forest-dwelling bats. This is the first country-record for Romania and also represents the easternmost occurrence of this species. Further studies are needed to evaluate the vectorial potential ofB. italica.

Background: We present information on Nycteribiidae flies parasitizing the bat families Pteropodidae, Miniopteridae and Vespertilionidae from the Malagasy Region, contributing insight into their diversity and host preference.Results: Our phylogenetic analysis identified nine clusters of nycteribiid bat flies on Madagascar and the neighbouring Comoros Archipelago. Bat flies sampled from frugivorous bats of the family Pteropodidae are monoxenous: Eucampsipoda madagascariensis, E. theodori and Cyclopodia dubia appear wholly restricted to Rousettus madagascariensis, R. obliviosus and Eidolon dupreanum, respectively. Two different host preference patterns occurred in nycteribiids infecting insectivorous bats. Flies parasitizing bats of the genera Miniopterus (Miniopteridae) and Myotis (Vespertilionidae), namely Penicillidia leptothrinax, Penicillidia sp. and Nycteribia stylidiopsis, are polyxenous and showed little host preference, while those parasitizing the genera Pipistrellus and Scotophilus (both Vespertilionidae) and referable to Basilia spp., are monoxenous. Lastly, the inferred Bayesian phylogeny revealed that the genus Basilia, as currently configured, is paraphyletic.Conclusion: This study provides new information on the differentiation of nycteribiid taxa, including undescribed species. Host preference is either strict as exemplified by flies parasitizing fruit bats, or more relaxed as found on some insectivorous bat species, possibly because of roost site sharing. Detailed taxonomic work is needed to address three undescribed nycteribiid taxa found on Pipistrellus and Scotophilus, tentatively allocated to the genus Basilia, but possibly warranting different generic allocation.

The list of the 49 American nicteribiid batflies species is presented, with informations about countries and hosts that were found in the literature.

A survey of nicteribiid batflies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) was done in Paraná State, Brazil. Seven species of Basilia Miranda Ribeiro, 1903 were recorded. Basilia ortizi Machado-Allison, 1963 is a new record for Brazil.. Two species are new records for Paraná State, Basilia carteri Scott, 1936 and Basilia juquiensis Guimarães, 1946. The male of B. juquiensis Guimarães is characterized. Basilia lindolphoi sp. n. is described. Pictorial keys to species are presented, and female abdomens are illustrated.

Basilia (Basilia) dubiaquercus Graciolli & Dick sp. nov. (Figs. 1���5). Diagnosis. Basilia dubiaquercus belongs to the ferruginea group in having two abdominal tergites, the second of which terminates in two lobes. However this remarkable new species possesses characteristics that expand our understanding of morphological variation among ferruginea group species. First, tergite I is rounded and much larger than tergite II. Other species of the ferruginea group typically possess a much smaller tegite I, usually with a medial gap apically. Basilia corynorhini (Ferris), from the USA and Mexico, is the only other ferruginea group species that possesses a rounded tergite I. A large tergite I also is characteristic of some species of the speiseri group (e.g., B. hughscotti Guimar��es, B. carteri Scott, B. dubia Guimar��es & D���Andretta, and B. dunni Guimar��es & D���Andretta) as well as in both species of the antrozoi group. Second, tergite II of B. dubiaquercus is the smallest of its abdominal sclerites. In typical ferruginea group species, tergite II is the most developed tergite. Third, the anal segment is as large as tergite II. In typical New World Basilia species of all groups, the anal segment is smaller than tergite II. However, a large anal segment is possessed by some species of Australian Basilia (Maa 1971). Finally, the single known male of B. dubiaquercus possesses a phallobase with six setae anteriorly and one pair posteriorly. New World Basilia species generally lack setae in the posterior region of the phallobase, whereas such setae are usually found in Old World species (see Theodor 1967). However, all male Basilia from the New World possess at least two pairs of setae in the anterior region of the phallobase (see Guimar��es & D���Andretta 1956). Description. Female (Figs. 1���3). Head ��� Vertex with 20 setae between the eyes near the anterior margin. Anterior margin of gena with 5���6 setae. Post-gena with 4���5 setae. Eye with two lenses on a pigmented base. Thorax ��� Much wider than long, sternum 2.67mm wide and 2.1mm long. Posterior of mesonotum without medial dorsal digitiform process. Ten or 11 notopleural setae. Thoracic ctenidium with about 20 spines. Tibiae scalpel-shaped, with three ventro-distal rows of setae. Femora II and III with bare anterior surface lacking sensory hairs near base. Abdomen (Figs. 2���3) ��� Tergite I rounded, comprising almost 1 / 3 the length of the abdomen. Surface setose, except for a bare strip along the medial longitudinal line. Setae on the posterior margin longer. Tergite II sub-cordiform in shape, divided longitudinally; each half ending as a lobe with 4���5 long, thick setae and 2���4 short spine-like setae.

Paratype male, same data as holotype. Etymology. The specific epithet references the only known, monotypic host species, Bauerus dubiaquercus (Van Gelder). Remarks. As mentioned in the description, the single male specimen of Basilia dubiaquercus possesses a posterior pair of setae on the phallobase, and the female specimen possesses an anal segment as large as tergite II. These characters resemble those of some Basilia from the Old World. Thus, B. dubiaquercus possesses some features unique to the ferruginea species group. Future phylogenetic analyses that incorporate morphologic and molecular data should provide insight into the boundaries and stability of the New World Basilia species groups, and their relationships to those from the Old World. With the description here of B. dubiaquercus, there are now two species of Basilia that are known to parasitize antrozoine bats. The other species is B. antrozoi, which belongs to the antrozoi species group and parasitizes Antrozous pallidus. Nycteribiid flies are known to be somewhat host specific (Marshall 1976, 1981; Graciolli et al. 2006), but because of their low prevalence and intensity compared to streblid bat flies, their host specificity cannot be scrutinized as carefully. For streblid flies, large and carefully controlled ectoparasite surveys were able to sample high numbers of bat flies from many hosts (e.g., Panama (Wenzel et al. 1966), Venezuela (Wenzel 1976), and Paraguay (Dick & Gettinger 2005)). Such surveys have documented high host specificity among the dispersal-prone Streblidae (Dick 2007; Dick & Patterson 2007). But regardless of our less-than-clear understanding of strict host specificity among New World nycteribiid flies, it seems clear that nearly all species are at least specific to particular host genera (Graciolli et al. 2006). Some recent authors have called attention to the loss of biodiversity resulting from co-extinction, especially in the host-parasite system (Dunn 2005; Durden & Keirans 1996; Koh et al. 2004). Basilia dubiaquercus is known exclusively from Bauerus dubiaquercus, an antrozoine vespertilionid bat classified as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN 2007). Bauerus dubiaquercus is of limited geographical distribution (SW Mexico south to N Costa Rica; Engstrom et al. 1987; Reid 1997) and is a rarely encountered species, with only 52 specimens being reported from major mammalian collections (MaNIS 2008). Moreover, several extensive collections of bat flies have been obtained from the known geographical range of B. dubiaquercus; Mexico ��� 3683 fly specimens, Belize ��� 1651, Guatemala ��� 960, Honduras ��� 2185, Nicaragua ��� 3014, and Costa Rica ��� 6231 (source ��� Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, bat fly collections and databases). Given these data, it is clear that B. dubiaquercus exhibits very low prevalence and intensity of infestation (sensu Bush et al. 1997) on a host bat species that is also rare in nature. Thus it is reasonable to consider this bat fly species of extinction status ���vulnerable��� (as is its host), if not even ���endangered��� or higher., Published as part of Graciolli, Gustavo & Dick, Carl W., 2009, A new species of Basilia Miranda-Ribeiro (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) from Honduras, parasite of Bauerus dubiaquercus (Van Gelder) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae: Antrozoinae), pp. 59-64 in Zootaxa 1972 on pages 60-63, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.185079, {"references":["Maa, T.

It is with Justinianus that an episcopus Rauricorum is first attested in 343/344 or 346 AD. At about the same time a church with a rectangular layout was built in the Castrum Rauracense (Kaiseraugst/AG), to which annexes were later added. (Fig. 1 ; Fig. 4). From the second half of the fourth century AD onwards, the small finds (Fig. 3) and funerary monuments (Fig. 6.4) confirm a Christian presence. Successive enlargements to the episcopal residence (Fig. 4), a church with a cemetery (Fig. 7), inscriptions (Fig. 2.2.3) and other stone buildings (Fig. 5) all show how the Castrum Rauracense remained an important centre of Christianity until the seventh century AD, unlike Basilia-fias/e (Fig. 8), where there is practically no evidence of Christianity for the period in question (Fig. 9). The written sources remain silent, however ; in particular, the lack of references to it in the acts of church-councils suggest that the episcopal see of Castrum Rauracense was very probably unoccupied in the fifth and sixth centuries AD. Two documents dating from 891 AD and 894 AD suggest that the ecclesiastical estates of Castrum Rauracense were by that time back in the control of the East Frankish royal house. The mention of Ragnacharius as praesul Augustanae et Basiliae (in C.618AD) can be interpreted in several ways. One can surmise that the diocese, established at the beginning of the seventh century A.D. and endowed with royal estates, had been administered from that time onwards (for a limited period ?) from Basle, a town then gaining in importance. The presence of a episcopal see at Basilia (Basle) becomes perceptible only in the ninth century AD with the construction of the cathedral (Münster) under Haito (805-823)., C'est avec Justinianus qu'un premier episcopus Rauricorum est attesté en 343/344 ap. J.-C, voire en 346 ap. J.-C. À peu près à la même époque, on édifie dans le Castrum Rauracense (Kaiseraugst/AG) une église de plan rectangulaire, munie de bâtiments annexes (Fig. 1 ; Fig. 4). Dès la 2e moitié du IVe s. ap. J.-C, le petit mobilier (Fig. 3) et des édifices funéraires (Fig. 6.4) révèlent la présence du christianisme. Les agrandissements successifs de la résidence épiscopale (Fig. 4), une église cimétériale (Fig. 7), des inscriptions (Fig. 2.2.3) et d'autres monuments en pierre (Fig. 5) montrent que le Castrum Rauracense est demeuré jusqu'au VIIe s. ap. J.-C. un centre chrétien important, contrairement à Basilia-Bâle (Fig. 8), où l'on ne dispose pratiquement pas de témoignages chrétiens pour la période concernée (Fig. 9). Cependant, les sources écrites restent muettes ; en particulier, on ne retrouve aucune mention dans les actes des conciles, et on peut en déduire que le siège épiscopal du Castrum Rauracense n'était très vraisemblablement pas occupé au Ve et au VIe s. ap. J.-C. Deux documents datés l'un de 891 et l'autre de 894 permettent de supposer que les propriétés ecclésiastiques du Castrum Rauracense se seraient à cette époque retrouvées aux mains de la maison royale des Francs orientaux. L'évocation de Ragnacharius comme praesul Augustanae et Basiliae ecclesiae (vers 618 ap. J.-C.) peut être interprétée de plusieurs façons. On peut envisager que l'évêché, remis en place au début du VIIe s. ap. J.-C. et doté de biens royaux, ait été dès cette époque (pour une durée limitée dans le temps ?) administré depuis Bâle, qui gagnait alors en importance. La présence d'un siège épiscopal à Basilia (Bâle) ne deviendra tangible qu'au IXe s. ap. J.-C, avec la construction de la cathédrale (Münster) de Haito (805-823)., Schwarz Peter-Andrew.

The list of the 49 American nicteribiid batflies species is presented, with informations about countries and hosts that were found in the literature.

A survey of nicteribiid batflies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) was done in Paraná State, Brazil. Seven species of Basilia Miranda Ribeiro, 1903 were recorded. Basilia ortizi Machado-Allison, 1963 is a new record for Brazil.. Two species are new records for Paraná State, Basilia carteri Scott, 1936 and Basilia juquiensis Guimarães, 1946. The male of B. juquiensis Guimarães is characterized. Basilia lindolphoi sp. n. is described. Pictorial keys to species are presented, and female abdomens are illustrated.
