Among the bird-parasites included in the family Hippoboscidae, are four small closely conneceted genera, in all of which the wings exhibit more or less extensive reduction and are apparently useless for the purpose of flight. In various parts of the world species belonging to one or other of three of these genera, namely Crataerina, v. Olf., Myophthiria, Rond., and Brachypteromyia, Will., infest Swifts (Micropus, Collocalia, etc.) and their nests; while the solitary representative of the fourth genus Stenepteryx, Leach, at present known is similarly parasitic on the House-Martin (Delichon urbica, L.), which, though in no wise related, is closely associated with the Common Swift in the popular mind.
