BRAZIL: Amazonas: near Manaus, municipality of Iranduba, near the meeting of the rivers Negro and Solimões, III-02 to VI-02, from a total of 9 nests [6 from Marchantaria (3º 14’17’’ S, 59º 57’ 00’’ W), 3 from Xiborena (3º 10’ 04’’ S, 59º 55’ 02’’ W)] (Gouveia et al. 2012).

DIPTERA: Muscidae
Philornis angustifrons (Loew, 1861)
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).

[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.
