Stomach bot flies (Calyptratae: Oestridae, Gasterophilinae) are obligate endoparasitoids of Proboscidea (i.e. elephants), Rhinocerotidae (i.e. rhinos) and Equidae (i.e. horses and zebras, etc.), with their larvae developing in the digestive tract of hosts with very strong host specificity. They represent an extremely unusual diver- sity among dipteran, or even insect parasites in general, and therefore provide sig- nificant insights into the evolution of parasitism. The phylogeny of stomach botflies was reconstructed -

Human Botfly (Dermatobia Hominis)
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT What’s Eating You? Human Botfly (Dermatobia hominis) Maryann Mikhail, MD; Barry L. Smith, MD Case Report A 12-year-old boy presented to dermatology with boils that had not responded to antibiotic therapy. The boy had been vacationing in Belize with his family and upon return noted 2 boils on his back. His pediatrician prescribed a 1-week course of cephalexin 250 mg 4 times daily. One lesion resolved while the second grew larger and was associated with stinging pain. The patient then went to the emergency depart- ment and was given a 1-week course of dicloxacil- lin 250 mg 4 times daily. Nevertheless, the lesion persisted, prompting the patient to return to the Figure 1. Clinical presentation of a round, nontender, emergency department, at which time the dermatol- 1.0-cm, erythematous furuncular lesion with an overlying ogy service was consulted. On physical examination, 0.5-cm, yellow-red, gelatinous cap with a central pore. there was a round, nontender, 1.0-cm, erythema- tous nodule with an overlying 0.5-cm, yellow-red, gelatinous cap with a central pore (Figure 1). The patient was afebrile and had no detectable lymphad- enopathy. Management consisted of injection of lidocaine with epinephrine around and into the base of the lesion for anesthesia, followed by insertion of a 4-mm tissue punch and gentle withdrawal of a botfly (Dermatobia hominis) larva with forceps through the defect it created (Figure 2). The area was then irri- gated and bandaged without suturing and the larva was sent for histopathologic evaluation (Figure 3). -

Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.
