bat flynounA bloodsucking fly of spider-like appearance, parasitic on bats and bearing live young.- Family Nycteribiidae: Nycteribia and other genera.

- Since both streblids and nycteribiids depend exclusively on bats, it may be that the common ancestor of the two bat fly families is not very old, no older than the common ancestor of bats.
