Abstract EN
Streblid bat flies are obligate and host-specific blood-feeding ectoparasites of bats.
While the bat flies of some American countries are well studied (e.g., Panama, Venezuela), little is known about Honduran Streblidae.
Accumulation of substantial numbers of specimens, from several different collections, has enabled a relatively thorough treatment of the fauna.
This study is based on 2,236 specimens representing 17 genera and 43 species of Streblidae.
Of those presently reported, 11 genera and 32 species are new records for Honduras, increasing the number of known genera and species by 65% and 74%, respectively.
Collection and host data are listed for all known Honduran streblid bat fly species.
Comments regarding host associations and specificity, geographic distribution, and taxonomic problems are given in the species accounts.
