Abstract
Nycterophilía fairchildi Wenzel (Diptera: Streblidae) is reported from Costa Rica for the first time. The specimens studied and Trichobius sp. were collected on the same bats (Pteronotus davyi, Phyllostomatidae). The halteres, wings and arista of N. fairchildi are redescribed and illustrated.
