Abstract
Abstract. The Hippoboscoidea are ectoparasitic flies that feed on the blood of birds and mammals with various degrees of host specificity. These flies are often poorly represented in museum collections and are overlooked in surveys of ectoparasites. These flies play a role in the transmission of a wide range of pathogens and endoparasites and are irritating to their hosts. I present records for 10 species of Hippoboscidae, 1 of Nycteribiidae, and 1 of Streblidae from Colorado and Wyoming based on museum records, some of which appear to be novel for these states. Resumen. Las Hippoboscoidea son moscas ectoparásitas que se alimentan de la sangre de aves y mamíferos con diversos grados de especificidad de hospedero. Estas moscas a menudo se encuentran mal representadas en las colecciones de los museos y son emitidas en los muestreos de ectoparásitos. Además, juegan un papel importante en la transmisión de una amplia gama de patógenos y endoparásitos, y son molestos para sus hospederos. En este trabajo presento registros de 10 especies de Hippoboscidae, 1 Nycteribiidae y 1 Streblidae de Colorado y Wyoming, algunos de los cuales de acuerdo con registros de museos podrían ser novedosos para estos estados.

The Western North American Naturalist places neither restriction nor preference on manuscripts within the disciplines of the biological sciences. Each issue treats diverse taxa from the perspectives of various disciplines (e.g., ecology, population dynamics, behavior, systematics, anatomy, and physiology).
