Resumen
The aim of this note was to record for the first time the finding of Hemilucilia segmentaria acting as biological
vector of Dermatobia hominis, during a study of the diversity of Calliphoridae at Reserva Biológica do Tinguá, Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil. The insects were captured using traps baited with chicken vicera, for a period of 28-30 h twice
per month. In the period of one year, 1987 insects were collected, 7.5% of which belonged to the H. segmentaria; of
these a female was captured in May 2001, carrying a mass of 20 eggs on the left side of its abdomen.
