“…This way of attachment was hypothesized by J. I. Roberts (1927) and observed by Hase (1927) on H. equina. This attachment solution could be an adaptation to the flight ability, since H. equina is able to fly throughout its life and is not as dependent on its attachment system as L. cervi or as Crataerina pallida (Liu et al, 2019;D.…”

Hippoboscidae and Nycteribiidae of the dipteran superfamily Hippoboscoidea are obligate ectoparasites, which feed on the blood of different mammals. Due to their limited flight capability, the attachment system on all tarsi is of great importance for a secure grasp onto their host and thus for their survival. In this study, the functional morphology of the attachment system of two hippoboscid species and two nycteribiid species was compared in their specificity to the host substrate. Based on data from scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy, it was shown that the attachment systems of both Hippoboscidae and Nycteribiidae (Hippoboscoidea) differ greatly from that of other calyptrate flies and are uniform within the respective families. All studied species have an attachment system with two monodentate claws and two pulvilli. The claws and pulvilli of the Hippoboscidae are asymmetric, which is an adaptation to the fur of even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla). The fur of these mammals possesses both, thinner woolen and thicker coat hair; thus, the asymmetry of the attachment system of the hippoboscid species enables a secure attachment to all surfaces of their hosts. The claws and pulvilli of the nyceribiid species do not show an asymmetry, since the fur of their bat (Chiroptera) hosts consists of hairs with the same thickness. The claws are important for the attachment to mammals' fur, because they enable a secure grip by mechanical interlocking of the hairs through the claws. Additionally, well-developed pulvilli are able to attach on thicker hairs of Artiodactyla or on smooth substrates such as the skin.

“…(Hutyra and Marek 1952). A secondary consequence of ectoparasitism by keds is the constant discomfort and scratching by the parasitised host (Hase 1927). Louse flies are also known as possible vectors of various diseases (Baker 1967, Kečera 1983, Oyieke and Reid 2003, Halos et al 2004, Reeves et al 2006, Martinković et al 2012).…”

A revised annotated checklist of louse flies (Diptera, Hippoboscidae) from Slovakia

The list of all known locality and host records from the literature on louse flies from Slovakia are summarized, with the addition of new collection data. New locality data are provided for five species. Three species are added to the Slovakian list: Icostaminor (Bigot in Thomson, 1858), which was erroneously cited for Moravia instead of Slovakia in the previous checklist, and Ornithophilametallica (Schiner, 1864) and Ornithomyachloropus (Bergroth, 1901), which were overlooked from the last checklist. As a result, the louse fly fauna of Slovakia increases to 19 species: 12 autochtonous species and seven rare, non-native species only occasionally imported to Slovakia or migrating to the country with their hosts. This is by far the largest regional fauna of Hippoboscidae in Central Europe, and matches the richest southern European faunas. In total, 78 host-parasite associations concerning 46 bird-host species from eight orders and nine species of mammals, including humans, have been found from a literature review in Slovakia. Two host-parasite associations are reported from Slovakia for the first time: Ornithomyaavicularia (Linnaeus, 1758) on Prunellamodularis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Aves: Prunellidae) and Lipoptenafortisetosa Maa, 1965 on Homosapiens Linnaeus, 1758 (Mammalia: Hominidae).

Biological studies have been conducted on Hippobosca equina (L.) in Egypt. The duration and weight of a complete blood meal was determined for newly emerged and old males and females. The flies resisted starvation more in moist than in dry atmosphere and newly emerged flies were more tolerant to starvation than field collected flies. Female flies were more affected with starvation than males. The mean adult longevity in summer was 40.9 and 41.8 days in males and females respectively, whereas in winter 52.6 and 62.2 days. The average number of larvae laid per one female was 7.3 in summer and 9.6 in winter. The first act of mating was quite sufficient for the female to give larvae regularly without any further need of males. The male flies reached their sexual maturity after 5 or 6 days in summer and 7 days in winter. The female flies reached their sexual maturity after an average period of 5.6 days in summer and 9.0 days in winter. The sex ratio of newly emerged flies in the laboratory was 42.3 % males and 57.7 % females. The effect of adult food on the pupal duration was tested. The maximum pupal period was that of the larvae laid in November (115 days) and the minimum was for larvae laid in June (21 days). The effect of temperature on the pupal duration indicated that the shortest duration (20.5 days) occurred at 32° C, while the longest (123.8 days) was at 20° C. No emergence occurred at temperatures above 32° C. The effect of relative humidity on the pupal development revealed that 75 % was the optimum degree for development. Zusammenfassung Studien zur Biologie von Hippobosca equina (L.) (Dipt., Hippoboscidae) als Ektoparasit an Haustieren in Ägypten Die Dauer und das Gewicht einer vollständigen Blutmahlzeit von H. equina wurde für frisch geschlüpfte und alte Fliegen beiderlei Geschlechts ermittelt. Die Fliegen überstanden Hunger besser in feuchter als in trockener Atmosphäre, wobei frisch geschlüpfte Fliegen widerstandsfähiger als ältere, im Freiland gesammelte waren. ♀♀ zeigten gegen Hunger größere Empfindlichkeit als ♂♂. Die mittlere Lebensdauer der Imagines im Sommer betrug 40,9 (♂) und 41,8 (♀), im Winter 52,6 und 62,6 Tage. I.M. setzte 1 ♀ 7,3 Larven im Sommer und 9,6 Larven im Winter ab. Ein Begattungsakt war für das ♀ ausreichend, um die voile Larvenzahl zu produzieren. Die Fortpflanzungsreife der ♂♂ wurde i.M. nach 5–6 Tagen im Sommer und nach 7 Tagen im Winter erreicht, von den ♀♀ nach 5,6 Tagen im Sommer und 9,0 Tagen im Winter. Das Geschlechterverhältnis frisch geschlüpfter Fliegen betrug 42,3 %: 57,7 % zugunsten der ♀♀. Die Wirkung der Imaginalernährung auf die Puppendauer wurde geprüft. Die maximale Puppendauer (115 Tage) folgte den im November, die minimale (21 Tage) den im Juni abgelegten Larven. Die längste Entwicklungsdauer zeigte die Puppe bei 20,5o, die kürzeste bei 32° C. Oberhalb von 32° C fand kein Schlüpfen von Fliegen mehr statt. 75 % rel. LF. bildete das Optimum der Puppenentwicklung.
