Abstract
Extract
General interest in horse bots was first aroused, in New Zealand, during the summer of 1890–91 (Anon, Citation1891). Morgan Citation(1892) tentatively identified specimens in his possession as being Oestrus gasterophilus equis (= G. intestinalis De Geer). Specimens were identified as Gasterophilus nasalis Linnaeus by Ormerod Citation(1893) and Riley Citation(1893).
