This study presents a checklist of bat flies in Romania, including new records, and updates the host-parasite associations for several species.
Bat flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea: Nycteribiidae, Streblidae) are obligate, blood-feeding, highly specialized ectoparasites of bats (Chiroptera). Of the 17 nycteribiid species present in Europe, 11 have been recorded in Romania. Here, we present a checklist with all the previously published data and new records from recent years, for a total of 2218 records of bat bat fly associations. Host-parasite associations are updated for Basilia italica Theodor, B. nana Theodor, B. nattererii (Kolenati), Nycteribia kolenatii Theodor & Moscona, N. latreillii (Leach), N. pedicularia Latreille, N. schmidlii Schiner, N. vexata Westwood, Penicillidia conspicua Speiser, Pe. dufourii (Westwood) and Phthiridium biarticulatum Hermann.
