Philornis is a genus of around 50 species of fly (Diptera, Muscidae) from Central and South America. Their larvae are subcutaneous parasites of nestling birds.[3] They are sometimes referred to as "bot flies" (e.g. [4]), though they are not related to true bot flies (family Oestridae).
Two species are also found in the southern United States. One species, P. downsi, has been accidentally introduced to the Galapagos Archipelago, posing a major threat to some of its endemic birds.[6][7]
They parasitize a wide range of bird species including psittacines. A study in the Peruvian Amazon compared parasite prevalence among different nests of scarlet macaws at the Tambopata research site, to see whether any of the nest types resulted in higher infestation.[4] Parasite prevalence was significantly lower in natural nest hollows than in artificial nest boxes. The most extreme intensity was 63 larvae per chick,[4] which is higher than those found for other Neotropical parrots.[8] The study also described a new and efficient technique to remove larvae using a reverse syringe design snake bite extractor.[4]

Philornis is een geslacht van vliegen uit de familie van de echte vliegen (Muscidae). Het geslacht komt voor in Midden-Amerika en er zijn ongeveer 50 soorten. De vliegen parasiteren op een groot aantal soorten vogels. Er zijn ook soorten aangetroffen in het zuiden van de Verenigde Staten. Eén soort, Philornis downsi is per ongeluk geïntroduceerd op de Galapagoseilanden en vormt daar een bedreiging voor de inheemse Darwinvinken.

Philornis (лат.) — род двукрылых из семейства настоящих мух.
Ариста длинная, перистая. Усики красновато-жёлтые. Щупики жёлтые. Окраска ног может варьировать от жёлтой до чёрной. Между коготками лапок располагаются две присоски — пульвиллы. Брюшко темное, первые сегменты могут быть жёлтыми[2].
Личинки обитают в гнёздах птиц питаются эскрементами или кровью[3][4]. В круг хозяев паразитических видов рода Philornis входят 127 видов птиц из отрядов воробьинообразных, соколообразных, совообразных, кукушкообразных, курообразных, голубеобразных, попугаеобразных, стрижеобразных и дятлообразных. Помимо Philornis в семействе настоящих мух паразитами птиц являются представители рода Passeromyia. Вид Philornis vespidicola развивается в гнёздах складчатокрылых ос[5].
В мировой фауне встречается около 50 видов, распространённых преимущественно в Южной Америке[4]. Шесть видов встречаются в США[5]
