Fam. (Estridae* (Biesfliegen). The proboscis is aborted. The females have 

 an ovipositor and lay their eggs or their living larvae (in which case the 

 ovipositor is absent) on certain places on Mammalia, e.g., in the nostrils of 

 Stags, or on the breast of the Horse. The larvae with dentated body rings,
