Abstract

A new species of Basilia Miranda-Ribeiro, 1903 (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) belonging to the ferruginea group from Mexico is described and additional geographic records of Basilia rondanii Guimarães & D´Andretta, 1956 are presented. The type-specimens of the species were collected on an endemic Mexican vespertilionid bat, Myotis carteri La Val (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in the State of Jalisco. Photographs in dorsal and ventral views and distribution maps of the new species and Basilia rondanii are presented.
