Oestridae ( Fig. 120 )

The oestrids comprise more than 166 species, grouped into four subfamilies and 63 extant genera ( Pape et al. 2011). Taxa previously dealt with at the family rank ( Gasterophilidae , Cuterebridae , Oestridae , and Hypodermatidae ) are now assigned as subfamilies within Oestridae (Pape 2001, 2010a). For Chile, three species grouped into three genera have been cited, Oestrus ovis (Linnaeus) , Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus) recorded from imported animals and Gasterophilus nasalis Linnaeus recorded from horses ( Guimarães, 1967; Alcaíno & Gorman 1999). Two other species, Hypoderma bovis (Linnaeus) and Hypoderma lineatus (Villers) , were introduced, but have been eradicated in the country ( Alcaíno & Gorman 1999).
