O macho, larva e pupário de Philornis fasciventris (Wulp) são descritos pela primeira vez, assim como os hábitos larvais e associação com o hospedeiro. O material foi coletado em Yucatan, México no ninho de Eumomota superciliosa (Sandbach) (Coraciformes: Momotidae), primeiro hospedeiro registrado para essa espécie. E. superciliosa é também novo registro de hospedeiro para Philornis.
