The family Streblidae consists of obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of bats. The richness of Streblidae may be affected by environmental and host-related variables, collection methods, and sampling effort. The purposes of this study were to list the Streblidae species recorded in Brazil, verify their distribution in the Brazilian biomes and states, and pinpoint the parameters that favored the greatest richness. Through queries in online databases and libraries, 86 publications were found containing records of 83 species in 24 genera. The state with the largest number of publications was São Paulo and Federal District presented the highest richness of Streblidae. The largest number of records of Streblidae species was in Cerrado biome. The meta-analyses utilizing 26 Brazilian inventories showed that the richness of Streblidae was positively correlated with the number of flies and richness and abundance of Phyllostomidae. We hope that the results of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the distribution of research on Streblidae in Brazil and confirming the specificity between Streblidae and Phyllostomidae.
蝠蝇科由蝙蝠的专性吸血外寄生虫组成。蝠蝇科的丰富度可能受到环境和宿主相关变量、采集方法以及采样力度的影响。本研究的目的是列出巴西记录的蝠蝇科物种，核实它们在巴西生物群落和各州的分布，并确定有利于最大丰富度的参数。通过在在线数据库和图书馆中查询，发现了86篇包含24个属83个物种记录的出版物。出版物数量最多的州是圣保罗，联邦区的蝠蝇科丰富度最高。蝠蝇科物种记录数量最多的是塞拉多生物群落。利用26份巴西动物名录进行的荟萃分析表明，蝠蝇科的丰富度与蝇类数量以及叶口蝠科的丰富度和丰度呈正相关。我们希望本研究结果将有助于更好地了解巴西蝠蝇科研究的分布情况，并证实蝠蝇科与叶口蝠科之间的特异性。
