Philornis fasciventris (Wulp) (Diptera: Muscidae): descrições do macho, larva e pupário, com notas sobre a biologia e associação com o hospedeiro

The male, larva and puparium of Philornis fasciventris (Wulp) are described for the first time, as well as the larval habit and host association. The material was collected in Yucatan, Mexico in a nest of the turquoise-browed motmot, Eumomota superciliosa (Sandbach) (Coraciformes: Momotidae), first host record for this species. E. superciliosa is also a new host record for Philornis.
