Abstract

A bird-parasitic fly, Carnus hemapterus Nitzsch was found from the external auditory meatus of a patient with a complaint of a ringing drumming in her ear in Hokkaido, Japan. There were ten odd red spots (0.5mm dia.) on the left eardrum. This is the first human case caused by C. hemapterus. This species and the family Carnidae also are new to Japan.
