Some Ectoparasites of Bats (Dipt.) 



By G. F. FERRIS, Stanford University, California. 



(Plates XXII, XXIII.) 



Those superlatively curious ectoparasites of bats, the Diptera 

 of the families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae are among the 

 least known of all the parasitic groups and but two species of 

 Nycteribiidae and four of Streblidae have heretofore been 

 recorded from North America. The Department of Ento- 

 mology of Stanford University has accumulated a small 

 amount of material belonging to both of these families and 

 through the kindness of Professor Kellogg this has been 

 turned over to me to work up. At the present time only part 

 of the material can be reported upon, the remainder, belonging 

 to the Streblid genus Trichobius, being withheld until a later 

 paper.
