Our survey in Mount Makiling Forest Reserve, Luzon Island, Philippines from April to May 2011 revealed new host records of bat fly species (Diptera: Nycteribiidae), including: Eucampsipoda philippinensis Ferris , Cyclopodia garrula Maa , C. horsfieldi de Mejeire , Phthiridium brachyacantha (Theodor) and Penicillidia acuminata Theodor . We also report C. garrula as a new record for Luzon Island. A checklist of the species known from the Philippines with the known distribution and bat host species was also provided.
