Portschinskia is a genus of flies. They are also known as bumblebee bot flies due to their striking resemblance to bumblebees both in habit and colour patterns.[2] Like all bot flies they are obligate parasites whose larvae develop in mammals.[3][4][5][6]
The first phylogenetic study of Portschinskia of all 11 species, including four new species, was published in 2020.[2]
