Parasitic Flies
Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the broomrapes. There are six major parasitic strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), trophicallytransmitted parasitism (by being eaten), vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation. One major axis of classification concerns invasiveness: an endoparasite lives inside the host's body; an ect ...

Cephenemyia Kaplanovi
The name deer botfly (also deer nose botfly) refers to any species in the genus ''Cephenemyia'' (sometimes misspelled as ''Cephenomyia'' or ''Cephenemya''), within the family Oestridae. They are large, gray-brown flies, often very accurate mimics of bumblebees. They attack chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of members of the deer family. The larva of ''Cephenemyia auribarbis'', infesting the stag, is called a stagworm. The genus name comes from the Greek ''kēphēn'', drone bee, and ''myia'', fly. Description The larval stages of ''Cephenemyia'' are obligate parasites of cervids. Eggs hatch in the uterus of the female. She then flies close to the head of her host species and while hovering ejects her larvae into its nostrils. Larvae migrate to the base of the animal's tongue, where they mature in clusters to a size of 25 to 36 mm. After being ejected by the host, they pupate in soil (2 to 3 weeks) before emerging as a sexually-mature but non-feeding adult, which mus ...

Ignaz Rudolph Schiner
Ignaz Rudolf Schiner (April 17, 1813 – July 6, 1873) was an Austrian entomologist who specialised in Diptera. Schiner was born in , Horn and died in Vienna. He was a ministerial secretary in Vienna His most significant publications are: * ''Fauna Austriaca. Die Fliegen (Diptera). Nach der analytischen Methode bearbeitet'' 1862–1864. *As editor ''Catalogus systematicus dipterorum Europae. W.M.W. Impensis: Societatis Zoologico-Botanicae'' 1864. Schiner's collections are in the Naturhistorisches Museum The Natural History Museum Vienna (german: Naturhistorisches Museum Wien) is a large natural history museum located in Vienna, Austria.

Cephenemyia Ulrichii
''Cephenemyia ulrichii'' or the moose botfly, also called the elk botfly, moose nose botfly or moose throat botfly, is a large botfly that resembles a bumblebee. In the wild, they attack chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of moose (also known as elk in Europe), but have been found in other deer species. There have also been several cases of ''C. ulrichii'' squirting their larvae into the eyes of human beings, a somewhat painful event that requires medical attention to forestall any possibility of serious damage. Description The adult ''C. ulrichii'' botfly is 16–18 mm long, its body covered with fluffy hairs of yellow, black and white, making it look like a bumblebee. Mouth parts are reduced and, like other adult ''Cephenemyia'', they cannot feed. Eggs hatch inside the female into first instar larvae, which are minute, white with black heads and barbed. In sunny weather, from July to September, females seek out an appropriate host site, typically the nostrils of a ...

Adolph Modeer
Adolf (also spelt Adolph or Adolphe, Adolfo and when Latinised Adolphus) is a given name used in German-speaking countries, Scandinavia, the Netherlands and Flanders, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Latin America and to a lesser extent in various Central European and East European countries with non-Germanic languages, such as Lithuanian Adolfas and Latvian Ādolfs. Adolphus can also appear as a surname, as in John Adolphus, the English historian. The female forms Adolphine and Adolpha are far more rare than the male names. The name is a compound derived from the Old High German ''Athalwolf'' (or ''Hadulf''), a composition of ''athal'', or ''adal'', meaning "noble" (or '' had(u)''-, meaning "battle, combat"), and ''wolf''. The name is cognate to the Anglo-Saxon name '' Æthelwulf'' (also Eadulf or Eadwulf). The name can also be derived from the ancient Germanic elements "Wald" meaning "power", "brightness" and wolf (Waldwulf). Due to negative associations with Adolf H ...

Cephenemyia Trompe
''Cephenemyia trompe'', also known as the reindeer nose botfly, is a species of botfly first described by Adolph Modéer in 1786. It belongs to the deer botfly genus ''Cephenemyia''. This fly is parasitic on reindeer. It is one of two ''Cephenemyia'' species found only in Scandinavia. The larvae of ''Cephenemyia trompe'' infect the nose area of reindeer. The adult is active during the Arctic summer, being able to fly very fast and having developed olfactory abilities to find reindeer from long distances. Its activity, however, is inhibited by strong winds, low temperatures and rain or snow. This species has a very short pupariation time compared to other reindeer botfly species.Douglas D. Colwell, Martin J. R. Hall, Philip J. Scholl & A. C. Nielsen eds.

Cephenemyia Stimulator
The name deer botfly (also deer nose botfly) refers to any species in the genus ''Cephenemyia'' (sometimes misspelled as ''Cephenomyia'' or ''Cephenemya''), within the family Oestridae. They are large, gray-brown flies, often very accurate mimics of bumblebees. They attack chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of members of the deer family. The larva of ''Cephenemyia auribarbis'', infesting the stag, is called a stagworm. The genus name comes from the Greek ''kēphēn'', drone bee, and ''myia'', fly. Description The larval stages of ''Cephenemyia'' are obligate parasites of cervids. Eggs hatch in the uterus of the female. She then flies close to the head of her host species and while hovering ejects her larvae into its nostrils.

Friedrich Moritz Brauer
Friedrich Moritz Brauer (12 May 1832, Vienna – 29 December 1904) was an Austrian entomologist who was Director of the Naturhistorisches Hofmuseum, Vienna, at the time of his death. He wrote many papers on Diptera and Neuroptera. From an assistant in the Entomological Museum at the University of Vienna, Brauer became Custodian of the collections in 1873 and in the following year was appointed Professor of zoology in the University. He was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Entomological Society of London in 1900. Brauer’s first work on the order Neuroptera, and his first entomological publication, in 1850, was a revision of the genus ''Chrysopa''. This was followed during the next few years by numerous papers on the biology of the order which established his reputation as one of the foremost European authorities on the Neuroptera. In 1858 he began studies of the life history of the Dipterous family Oestridae; the result was the publication in 1863 of “Monographie der Oestr ...
