Abstract
Bat flies are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of bats. They are divided into two families: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae.
Europe has 17 species of bat flies and 45 species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera). This checklist is based on both published
records and our own field data and provides updated information on all associations between bat flies and their hosts in
Europe. The host-parasite association between Basilia italica Theodor and Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus) is reported for the
first time. Moreover, our records of B. italica on Myotis alcathoe Helversen & Heller, B. nana Theodor & Moscona on
Plecotus auritus, Nycteribia kolenatii Theodor & Moscona on M. bechsteinii (Kuhl) and Penicillidia dufourii (Westwood)
on M. daubentonii (Kuhl) represent new host associations for Hungary.
Key words: ectoparasites, host associations, parasite specificity, Pupipara
Introduction
Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) possess a diverse ectoparasitic fauna including Diptera, Heteroptera, Siphonaptera
and Acari (e.g., Hutson 1972; Marshall 1982). Dipteran parasites are represented by two families: Nycteribiidae
and Streblidae. To the best of our knowledge, 16 nycteribiids and one streblid have been reported for Europe (Pape
et al. 2015).
Nycteribiids and streblids are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of bats, and they belong together with
Glossinidae (tsetse) and Hippoboscidae (louse flies) to the calyptrate superfamily Hippoboscoidea. Louse flies and
bat flies form the Pupipara, the species of which reproduce by obligate pseudo-placental unilarviparity (Meier et al.
1999). The female deposits a mature third instar larva (usually on the wall of the host roost), which immediately
begins to pupate (Hill 1963). Nycteribiids have their wings totally reduced, while most streblids have fully
developed wings at least during a certain part of their adult life. Bat flies do not leave their hosts except for the
laying of larvae (both families) or when their hosts are disturbed (only streblids). There are three subfamilies within
the family Nycteribiidae: Archinycteribiinae, Cyclopodiinae and Nycteribiinae (Maa 1965). The family Streblidae
is divided into five subfamilies: the Old World Nycteriboscinae and Ascodipterinae and the New World
Trichobiinae, Nycterophiliinae and Streblinae (Dick & Patterson 2006). The only European streblid species is
Brachytarsina flavipennis Macquart of the Nycteriboscinae subfamily (as Brachytarsininae in Dittmar et al. 2006;
Vasconcelos et al. 2015).
The number of European bat fly species is probably underestimated and is likely to increase as a result of more
research (Pape et al. 2015). This is expected especially on the least known and rare hosts such as, e.g., Nyctalus
azoreum (Thomas), N. lasiopterus (Schreber) and Pipistrellus maderensis (Dobson) (all Chiroptera:

Vespertilionidae). No recent review of known host associations of bat flies is available, the latest dating back to the
1960s (e.g., Hůrka 1964; Theodor 1967). Our study aims to fill this gap by providing a review of the existing
literature, complemented with unpublished data from fieldwork in Hungary. Moreover, since bat flies could be
vectors of several zoonotic agents such as Polychromophilus Dionisi (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) (Gardner &
Molyneux 1988) or BartonellaStrong et al. (Rhizobiales: Bartonellaceae) species (Morse et al. 2012), we urge that
future studies address the ecology and disease transmitting potential of these flies.
Material and methods
We collected literature data from the area of European territory defined by Pape et al. (2015) as “the western
Palaearctic, including the European mainland, Great Britain, the Macaronesian islands, Cyprus, Faroe Islands,
Iceland, Svalbard, Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya, but excluding Turkey, the Caucasus, western
Kazakhstan, the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa” (Fig. 1), and supplemented this with data obtained from our
own fieldwork in Hungary (Fig. 2). Forty-five (45) bat species are reported from Europe (UNEP/Eurobats 2015).
Distributions of bat flies are given based on the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera ( Hůrka & Soós 1986a, 1986b), as
well as on more recent works (Tab. 1). Our review lists only bat fly species recorded from Europe, but a few extra-
limital records have been included (indicated in square brackets) for species associated with hosts occurring also in
Europe. In most cases, bat flies have numerous documented occurrences on different bat species, but usually they
have one or two main hosts: we indicated the main host-bat fly associations by putting the names in bold (Tabs 1–
2). We determined host specificity based on the frequency of host use by bat flies. Our own material was collected
in Hungary in 1998–1999 and 2012–2014 (Fig. 2), with full collecting data provided in Table 1. Bats were caught
using mist nets deployed at drinking, foraging or swarming sites. The flies were collected from the bats using
forceps and stored in 70% ethanol. Bat flies were identified using the works of Theodor & Moscona (1954) and
Theodor (1967), whereas their classification and nomenclature follow Hůrka & Soós (1986a, 1986b). For bat
classification, we followed Dietz & Von Helversen (2004). The collected bat fly specimens are deposited at
Eszterházy Károly College (Eger, Hungary). The map in Figure 1 was created with QGIS 2.8.2-Wien.
Results and discussion
All host-parasite associations are presented in Tables 1–2, and the collecting sites surveyed in 1998–1999 and
2012–2014 are summarized in Figure 2.
Many bat species have no records of associated bat flies, generally because the parasitology of the host has
been poorly studied (e.g., Eptesicus bottae (Peters),Myotis escalerai Cabrera, Plecotus kolombatovici Dulic [all
Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae]). During our survey we recorded 24 host associations of bat flies in Hungary,
including that of Basilia italica Theodor (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) on Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus) (Chiroptera:
Vespertilionidae), an association here reported for the first time.
We also provide the second documented cases for Basilia italica on Barbastella barbastellus (Schreber)
(Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and B. italica on Myotis alcathoe Helversen & Heller (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
(Czuppon & Molnár 2001; Danko et al. 2010) and the third case for Basilia nattereri (Kolenati) (Diptera:
Nycteribiidae) on Myotis bechsteinii (Kuhl) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) (Dudich 1925; Soós 1955).
In addition, our records of Basilia italica on Myotis alcathoe, B. nana Theodor & Moscona (Diptera:
Nycteribiidae) on Plecotus auritus, Nycteribia kolenatii Theodor & Moscona (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) on M.
bechsteinii and Penicillidia dufourii (Westwood) (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) on M. daubentonii (Kuhl) (Chiroptera:
Vespertilionidae) represent new host associations for Hungary.
We consider Falcoz’s (1926) records of Nycteribia pedicularia Latreille (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) as doubtful
since this species was not well defined and poorly distinguished from N. latreillii (Leach) and N. kolenatii at that
time (Theodor & Moscona 1954). We also indicate some additional early records as doubtful because of the
unclarified taxonomic status of the hosts (e.g., “Vespertilio murinus” in Westwood [1835] and Kolenati [1857]).
Likewise, Dudich’s (1925) records of Basilia nattereri are considered doubtful, as B. nana and B. nattereri were
first distinguished by Theodor (1954).
