One of the largest gaps in the knowledge of ectoparasitic flies of the families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae in Brazil is the northeastern region, where most states do not have any record. Here, we present the first records of those two bat fly families for the state of Paraíba. We recorded a total of 10 species of five genera parasitizing eight bat species of four families. Trichobius diphyllae Wenzel (Streblidae) was the most abundant species, found parasitizing Diphylla ecaudata (Phyllostomidae), and T. dugesioides dugesioides Wenzel, the second, found on Trachops cirrhosus (Phyllostomidae). Three species were recorded for the first time in northeastern Brazil and seven species are new for the semi-arid Caatinga. We collected T. galei Wenzel and T. pallidus (Curran) on Natalus macrourus (Natalidae) and Furipterus horrens (Furipteridae), respectively, two endangered bat species, and the species-specific relationship with their hosts points out to some degree of vulnerability. In addition, we present information on host-parasite relationship, and data that extend the known geographic distribution of some species.
巴西夜蛾蝇科和蝠蝇科体外寄生蝇类知识方面最大的空白区域之一是东北部地区，那里大多数州都没有任何记录。在此，我们呈现这两个蝠蝇科在帕拉伊巴州的首批记录。我们总共记录了寄生在四个科的八种蝙蝠身上的五个属的10个物种。双叶毛鼻蝠蝇Trichobius diphyllae Wenzel（蝠蝇科）是最常见的物种，寄生于无尾叶鼻蝠Diphylla ecaudata（叶口蝠科），其次是杜氏毛鼻蝠蝇T. dugesioides dugesioides Wenzel，发现于皱唇犬吻蝠Trachops cirrhosus（叶口蝠科）身上。三个物种是在巴西东北部首次记录，七个物种是半干旱卡廷加地区新发现的。我们分别在濒危蝙蝠物种巨耳墓蝠Natalus macrourus（墓蝠科）和皱脸蝠Furipterus horrens（皱脸蝠科）身上采集到了加氏毛鼻蝠蝇T. galei Wenzel和苍白毛鼻蝠蝇T. pallidus（柯伦），其与宿主的物种特异性关系在一定程度上表明了某种脆弱性。此外，我们还提供了宿主 - 寄生虫关系的信息，以及扩展了一些物种已知地理分布的数据。
