Abstract
The family Hippoboscidae is an ectoparasite that primarily inhabits bats and relies on the host's blood for sustenance. This research provides the first complete mitochondrial genome of Nycteribia formosana, which shares similar characteristics with other dipteran insects. The circularized mitochondrial genome, spanning 15,107 bp, encompasses 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The nucleotide composition of A, C, G, and T is 40.4%, 10.9%, 6.7%, and 42.0%, respectively. The findings from the phylogenetic analysis suggest that the species under investigation forms a cluster with other species belonging to the family Nycteribiidae. Consequently, this study provides valuable insights for the identification of N. formosana.

Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Crataerina pallida (the Swift Louse Fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Hippoboscidae). The genome sequence is 177.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.57 kilobases in length.

Abstract
Species of the family Nycteribiidae are blood-sucking ectoparasites that parasitize bats. To further enrich the molecular data of species in the family Nycteribiidae, the complete mitochondrial genome of Nycteribia parvula was sequenced for the first time in this study. The complete mitochondrial genome of N. parvula is 16,060 base pairs (bp) in size, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The nucleotide contents of A, T, G, and C are respectively 40.86%, 42.19%, 6.51%, and 10.44%. The phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs supports the monophyly of the family Nycteribiidae, and N. parvula is the closest relative to Phthiridium szechuanum.

Abstract
The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Ornithomya biloba (Dufour 1827) was first sequenced and annotated in this study as the first representative of the genus Ornithomya. The complete mitogenome is 18,654 bp in length and contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and control region). The phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs in IQ-TREE supports the monophyly of Hippoboscidae, which was a sister group of Streblidae. Families Hippoboscidae and Streblidae formed the monophyletic Hippoboscoidea clade.
