Las moscas ectoparásitas de quirópteros (Streblidae) son un grupo altamente especializado por su relación casi permanente y específica con sus hospederos. En Colombia los estudios han estado centrados en la descripción de especies, pero pocos acercamientos han incluido las comunidades andinas. Este trabajo realiza un aporte sobre la diversidad de estréblidos en una comunidad de murciélagos en un intervalo urbano-rural en la reserva Alto de San Miguel, norte de los Andes en Antioquia. Se capturaron un total de 73 murciélagos y se recolectaron manualmente 41 ectoparásitos en tres zonas de muestreo con diferencias en cobertura vegetal y grados contrastantes de urbanización (natural, rural y urbana). Los ectoparásitos recolectados fueron identificados hasta el nivel de especie y se estimaron los parámetros de prevalencia e intensidad promedio de infestación. Se encontraron un total de nueve especies en catorce especies de murciélagos de la familia Phyllostomidae, con una prevalencia general del 41 %. El análisis indicó que la probabilidad de infestación no presento diferencias respecto al sexo del hospedero ni por el nivel de urbanización. Los resultados presentados constituyen el segundo estudio de la relación estréblidos-murciélagos en ambientes andinos en el país, aportando datos nuevos sobre la riqueza de este grupo. En este trabajo se reporta a Paratrichobius sanchezi, Megistopoda theodori y Strebla christinae como nuevos registros de estréblidos para Colombia.
Ectoparasitic bat flies (Streblidae) are a highly specialized group due to their almost permanent and specific relationship with their hosts. Studies in Colombia have been focused on the description of species, but few approaches have included Andean communities. This work contributes to the diversity of Streblidae in a community of bats in an urban-rural landscape in the Alto de San Miguel Reserve, northern of the Andes in Antioquia. A total of 73 bats were captured and 41 ectoparasites were manually collected in three sampling areas with differences in vegetation cover and level of urbanization (natural, rural, and urban). The collected ectoparasites were identified at the species level and the parameters prevalence and mean intensity of infestation were estimated. A total of nine species were found in fourteen species of bats from the family Phyllostomidae, corresponding to an overall prevalence of 41%. The analysis indicated that the probability of infestation was not different between the sexes or between different degrees of urbanization. The results presented constitute the second study of the streblids-bats relationship in Andean environments in the country, providing new data on the richness of this group. In this work, Paratrichobius sanchezi, Megistopoda theodori, and Strebla christinae correspond to new species records of Streblidae for Colombia.
