Hippobosca longipennis (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), the dog fly or dog louse fly, is an obligate blood-feeding ectoparasite of wild and domestic carnivores in Africa and the Middle East. Outside its typically known geographic range, H. longipennis has been reported occasionally on mainly domestic dogs in Asia and southern Europe, and infrequently in other areas (central Europe and the U.S.A.). This paper presents the first report of H. longipennis in Romania and the second record of Lipoptena fortisetosa (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), a potentially invasive species. Hippobosca longipennis was found on domestic dogs in two regions of the country (northern Romania in Maramures and southwestern Romania in Dobrogea) and on two road-killed wildcats in Maramures. Lipoptena fortisetosa was found on domestic dogs in Maramures. In both species identification was based on morphology and confirmed by barcoding of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene. It is not clear for how long H. longipennis has been present in central Europe, nor if it was introduced (via the movement of domestic dogs or import of exotic carnivores) or present historically (Holocene remnants). This paper discusses the possible origins of H. longipennis in central Europe as its current distribution in the area is sparse and patchy.

罗马尼亚首次发现狗虱蝇Hippobosca longipennis。

狗蝇或狗虱蝇（Hipbosca longipennis）（双翅目：Hippoboscidae）是非洲和中东野生和家养食肉动物的专性采食血外寄生虫。不在其通常已知的地理范围内，在亚洲和南欧，偶有主要针对家养犬的H. longipennis报道，而在其他地区（中欧和美国）则很少报道。本文介绍了罗马尼亚的H. longipennis的第一个报告，以及潜在入侵物种Lipoptena fortisetosa（Diptera：Hippoboscidae）的第二个记录。在该国两个地区的家犬（马拉诺斯的罗马尼亚北部和多布罗加的罗马尼亚西南部）的家犬和马拉穆列斯的两只路杀野猫中发现了河马。在Maramures的家养犬中发现了Lipoptena fortisetosa。在这两个物种中，鉴定都是基于形态学，并通过对细胞色素C氧化酶亚基1基因进行条形码验证。目前尚不清楚中欧血吸虫已经存在了多久，也没有被引入（通过家犬的移动或外来食肉动物的进口）或历史上的引入（全残）。本文讨论了中欧血吸虫的可能起源，因为该病目前在该地区的分布稀疏且斑驳。
