【 摘 要 】

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7925.2010v23n3p227 From the groups causing myiasis, the genusPhilornisMeinert, 1890 appears as the only representative of the family Muscidae, obligatorily associated with birds. Thus, the aim of this work was to report the occurrence ofPhilornisinThalurania glaucopis(Trochilidae). Two parasitized nestlings ofT. glaucopiswere encountered in May of 2008, in an area with a high degree of degradation in the municipal district of Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro. A total of 11 larvae were located intradermically in the regions of the head and neck. The larvae were removed using tweezers and placed in a plastic container with sawdust, in order to await the emergence of the adult. Only seven larvae completed metamorphosis and reached the adult stage, being identified asPhilornis glaucinis . This study presented the first record ofP. glaucinisin the state of Rio de Janeiro and also the first occurrence of this parasite in nestlings ofT. glaucopis .
