Checklist of bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) and their associated bat hosts in Malaysia

| Summary: | The number of publications on bat flies of
Malaysia suggests that this group of parasitic dipterans
is understudied. From April 2011 to September 2013, we
surveyed 10 localities from seven states in Malaysia with
the main objective to compile a checklist of bat flies. As
a result, a total of 15 species of bat flies were recorded
from 24 species of hosts. Our surveys indicated that
there is a correlation between the number of bat species
and the number of bat flies species recorded due to the
host specific nature of bat flies. |
