| Abstract: | The fauna of bat-flies on São Tomé is studied based on recently collected material. The only previously well documented Cyclopodia greeffi has not been obtained, but is recorded for the first time from Pa Galu (Anno Bon) taken from Eidolon helvum. - Eucampsipoda iterfacta n. sp. is described from Rousettus aegyptiacus thomensis on São Tomé. - Nycteribia schmidlii scotti is confirmed as parasitizing Miniopterus minor newtoni. - Penicillidia principis until present only known from Pr{\'ıncipe Island is added to the São Tomé fauna (host species Hipposideros ruber guineensis) and described as P. principis nudipleura n. subsp. - The family Streblidae is recorded for the first time from the archipelago in the Gulf of Guinea, based on Ascodipteron africanum encysted in Miniopterus minor newtoni. - Host species taxonomy is briefly compared with the batflies respectively associated. |
