Abstract
About fifty larvae of Cephenemyia ulrichii Brauer (Diptera: Oestridae), some of them nearly fullgrown
third instars, were found in the throat of a roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in June 2007 near
Helsinki in Finland. The parasite is considered to be host specific, occurring only in the moose (Alces
alces), and this paper is apparently the first report of a successful infestation in an aberrant host.
