| Abstract: | Introduction: The muscoid fly Dermatobia hominis causes cutaneous myiases in mammals. Females of this species use a vector to carry their eggs to the host. This note describes Anopheles konderi acting as phoretic vector for D. hominis. Methods: A female A. konderi carrying D. hominis was collected using light traps in Oriximiná, Pará, Brazil. The A. konderi specimen was identified at morphological and molecular levels. Results: Eight eggs of D. hominis were observed on the Anopheles konderi female. Conclusions: Anopheles konderi, only the third Anopheles species recorded as a phoretic vector, may be a potential vector of D. hominis. © 2017, Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical.
