Nycteribiidae of the true fly superfamily Hippoboscoidea are known as "bat flies", together with their close relatives the Streblidae. As the latter do not seem to be a monophyletic group, it is conceivable to unite all bat flies in a single family. They are flattened, spiderlike flies without eyes or wings, and are seldom encountered by general collectors, as they almost never leave the bodies of their hosts. Both males and females take blood meals, thus they qualify as real parasites. Most species are highly host-specific. The family is primarily found in the Old World tropics; a few of the 274 known species occur in the Neotropics and in Europe. ==Genera== *Subfamily Archinycteribiinae Maa, 1975 : *''Archinycteribia'' Speiser, 1901 *Subfamily Cyclopodiinae Maa, 1965 : *''Cyclopodia'' Kolenati, 1863 : *''Dipseliopoda'' Theodor, 1955 : *''Eucampsipoda'' Kolenati, 1857 : *''Leptocyclopodia'' Theodor, 1959 *Subfamily Nycteribiinae Westwood, 1835 : *''Basilia'' Miranda Ribeiro, 1903 : *''Hershkovitzia'' Guimarães & d'Andretta, 1956 : *''Nycteribia'' Latreille, 1796 : *''Penicillidia'' Kolenati, 1863 : *''Phthiridium'' Hermann, 1804 : *''Stereomyia'' Theodor, 1967〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nycteribiidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
