Abstract

The flies Philornis spp. (Diptera: Muscidae) is a group of ectoparasitic flies that mainly includes species with a Neotropical distribution. Their larvae parasitize various species of birds, developing subcutaneously in chicks that are still in the nests, where they hatched from their eggs. In August 2019, in the rainy season, during a tour of the Camarón Trail, within the Camino de Cruces National Park, we sighted a Trogon rufus chick on the ground, when we performed a general inspection we noticed the presence of a wound caused by a larva of Philornis sp. located in the lower part of the beak commissure, directly below the left eye, the larva of the chick was extracted and collected for later identification in the Laboratory of Systematic Entomology of the G.B. Fairchild Invertebrate Museum of the University of Panama, at chick the wound was cured with antiseptic and healing, later it was released in the place where it was found. We report the fifth (5) record of parasitosis of fly larvae Philornis sp. about birds and for the first time about a Trogon rufus chick on a trail in the Camino de Cruces National Park. We also update the parasitic records of Philornis fly larvae on host birds in Panama and Central America.
