- Title
Records for Hippoboscidae, Streblidae, and Nycteribiidae (Insecta: Diptera) from Colorado and Wyoming.

- 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.
