BRAZIL: Distrito Federal: Brasilia, Zoologico, May [2009 or 2010], on [6?] nestlings ( Canzi 2011).

Molothrus oryzivorus (Gmelin, 1788)

DIPTERA : Muscidae

Philornis spp.

ARGENTINA: Misiones: [localities not discriminated], 8 botfly larvae observed on a cowbird nestling at 4 days of age with a body mass of 41.5 g; number of visible larvae increased to 19 and nestling body mass increased to 51 g at 6 days later; other cowbird nestling infested with botflies prior to this study in one of the colonies, Jorge Anfuso and Silvia Elsegood, pers. comm. ( Fraga 2011a); nestlings parasitized by the larvae ( Fraga 2011b).

Psarocolius montezuma (Lesson, 1830)

[ Philornis sp.]

= “colmoyotes ( Dermatobia sp.)”: Solorio 1994: 272 [host]

MEXICO: Quintana Roo: Bacalar, Campo Experimental Forestal San Felipe Bacalar (18º 46’ N, 88º 17’ W), III-1986 to IV-1992, two nestlings on the ground below a colony with “endoparasites,” each one with approx. 6 “colmoyotes” distributed in wings, neck, and legs ( Solorio 1994).

Note: The larvae of Dermatobia [ Diptera : Cuterebridae ] produce subcutaneous myiasis exclusively on mammals, including humans ( Guimarães & Papavero 1999). Without doubt, Solorio (1994) observes a species of Philornis with subcutaneous larvae.
