Abstract

Flies of the genus Cuterebra are found in the New World only. They are parasitic bots of rodents and lagomorphs as larvae and have been studied for about one and one-half centuries. During this time very little has been found out about the biology of most of the species, even hosts are still unknown for many of them.
