"New national records for Cyclopodia greeffi greeffi (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) from the Kunene Region, Namibia, Africa" was published today in Entomological News, which I coauthored with Will Reeves, Elena Gratton, Lina Mushabati, and Seth Eiseb. We report the first collections of C. greeffi greeffi from Namibia, expanding the range of the ectoparasite to a new country. These bat flies were discovered on an African straw-colored fruit bat, Eidolon helvum, in Sesfontein in June 2016, but likely occur found wherever E. helvum is found in Namibia. Feel free to email me if you need assistance accessing the paper.
