Description
Abstract.-Cephenemyia spp. are widespread oestrid flies whose larvae parasitize various cervid hosts, yet attempts to pathologize their significance as well as delineate their taxonomy, dispersal potential, and distribution remain ambiguous. This report provides new records of mixed Cephenemyia spp. infections in both mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in west and north-central Texas, including C. jellisoni, C. phobifer, and C. pratti, thereby filling a substantial void in previous southern distribution reports. Possible ecological and pathological implications are discussed including the need for a taxonomic review of the genus Cephenemyia plus dispersal, hybridization, and vector potential for chronic wasting disease in cervid hosts. **********
