Paraguayan records (32 specimens)

Concepción: Parque Nacional Serranía de San Luis, 2 females, 2 males from E ptesicus furinalis (d´Orbigny), 10–14.iv.1996; 5 females, 7 males from same host, 6–11.xii.1996; 1 male from Molossus molossus (Pallas) , 8.xii.1996. Cordillera: Estancia Sombrero, 1 female, 1 male from E. furinalis , 15.x.1995; 1 male from same host, 17.ii.1997. Paraguarí: *Sapucay, 4 females, 2 males from Eptesicus brasiliensis (Desmarest) , 10.vi.1901; 4 females from same host, 29.xii.1901; 2 females from same host (Guimarães & D´Andretta 1956).

Remarks

Eptesicus furinalis represents a new host record from this fly. The record from M. molossus is suspected a contaminant, given that two specimens of E. furinalis yielded samples of B. bequaerti from the same locality on the same day. Outside of Paraguay, B. bequaerti has been recorded from Micronycteris megalotis (Gray) in Colombia and from an unidentified host in Venezuela ( Guimarães 1972).
