Philornis is a genus of around 50 species of fly (Diptera, Muscidae) from Central and South America. Their larvae are subcutaneous parasites of nestling birds. They are sometimes referred to as "bot flies" (e.g. ), though they are not related to true bot flies (family Oestridae). Two species are also found in the southern United States.

We installed thirty nest boxes in the northeastern Buenos Aires province in the 2010–2011 breeding season. In the first brood, subcutaneous larvae of Philornis (Muscidae) parasitised 34 nestlings (89.4%) of 11 clutches (91.6%) … WebbPhilornis tiene un mayor impacto sobre las especies de aves con nidadas pequeñas, por ejemplo las especies de pinzones de árbol.
