The aim of this study was to report, for the first time, the occurrence of the hippoboscid fly Ornithoctona erythrocephala on a red-legged seriema (Cariama cristata). A Diptera specimen was found among the feathers of a free-living red-legged seriema, which was referred to necropsy at the Wild Animal Pathology Service, UNESP Jaboticabal. The fly was collected, stored in absolute alcohol, and shipped to the Institute of Biosciences of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul for proper identification. Based on morphological characters, the specimen was identified as a female of Ornithoctona erythrocephala. This study provides a report on a new host for O. erythrocephala.
本研究的目的是首次报告 hippoboscid 蝇 Ornithoctona erythrocephala 出现在红腿蛇鹫(Cariama cristata)身上。在一只自由生活的红腿蛇鹫的羽毛中发现了一只双翅目标本,该标本被送到 UNESP Jaboticabal 的野生动物病理学服务处进行剖检。苍蝇被收集起来,保存在绝对酒精中,并运送到南马托格罗索联邦大学的生物科学研究所进行正确鉴定。根据形态特征,该标本被鉴定为雌性 Ornithoctona erythrocephala。本研究报告了 O. erythrocephala 的一个新宿主。
