Subfamily of flies
The Gasterophilinae are a subfamily of Oestridae which includes large, parasitic flies; this group has historically been treated as a family, but all recent classifications place them firmly within the Oestridae. Many members of this subfamily spend part of their larval stages in the digestive tracts of herbivores. The best known genus is "Gasterophilus", which attacks horses, deer, and similar animals. The genus "Cobboldia" breeds in elephants. The genus "Gyrostigma" breeds in rhinoceroses.
