Braulidae View in CoL

The family Braulidae comprises seven species in the genera Braula Nitzsch and Megabraula Grimaldi & Underwood ( Grimaldi & Underwood 1986) . In Chile, only Braula coeca Nitzsch , a kleptoparasitic fly of honeybee colonies that lives associated with adult bees and hive wax, is present. Its importance and damage to honeybees are normally negligible for beekeeping ( Büscher et al. 2021), and most probably, this is an introduced species.
