ABSTRACT

The Family Streblidae is represented by 246 species distributed worldwide. In order to contribute to the knowledge of streblid richness in Mexico, we recorded the associations between Streblidae and the New World leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae) collected in different caves in Mexico. For each streblid species their geographical and host spectrum is reported, and diagnostic characters are illustrated. Twenty-nine caves from six Mexican states were sampled. A total of 86 bats were collected belonging to eight genera and 11 species and from these a total of 297 streblid specimens of 14 species and five genera were collected. This study updates the knowledge of streblid diversity in Mexican cave habitats providing high resolution images of external anatomy.

摘要

家庭 Streblidae 由分布在世界各地的 246 种代表。为了有助于了解墨西哥鲟科的丰富性，我们记录了鲟科与在墨西哥不同洞穴中收集的新世界叶鼻蝙蝠（Phyllostomidae）之间的关联。对于每个 streblid 物种，它们的地理和寄主谱都被报告，并说明了诊断特征。对来自墨西哥六个州的 29 个洞穴进行了采样。共采集蝙蝠8属11种86只，共采集14种5属297只蝙蝠标本。这项研究更新了对墨西哥洞穴栖息地的 streblid 多样性的认识，提供了外部解剖结构的高分辨率图像。
