Description. Female. Head, vertex with six setae between the eyes and four near the anterior margin. Eyes with two facets on pigmented base. Thorax (Figs 1, 2) much wider than long. Posterior margin of mesonotum with medial dorsal process. Ten to 12 notopleural setae. Each thoracic ctenidium with about 23 spines. Tibiae scalpelshaped with three ventrodistal rows of setae. Sternal plate wider than long. Abdomen, tergite I wider than long with 4–6 setae (normally six), on each side of posterior margin. Tergite II divided longitudinally; each half ending as a narrow lobe (about two times longer than wide), each lobe with 2–3 long and 3–6 short spinelike setae. Anal segment with lateral margin parallel, 14–19 setae on each side. Lateral connexivum with long pustulate setae (Figs 1, 2, 5). Sternite II wider than long, ctenidium with about 72 spines. Sternite V divided into two eliptical sclerites, each with 9–10 marginal setae. Sternite VI entire with 14–20 discal setae and 16–20 setae on posterior margin. Genital plate forming three rounded plates; a narrow medial plate with two setae, and wide lateral plates each with four setae (Fig. 6). Anal sclerite rounded and long with two setae. Adanal plates irregularly shaped, each with about four setae (Fig. 6). Male. As in female except as follows (Figs. 34). Head, vertex with four setae between the eyes. Thorax, nine notopleural setae. Abdomen, sternite V with two rows of four and eight spinelike setae (Fig. 4). Aedeagus small and parallelsided, dorsal margin serrated with two basal setae. Phallobase with one seta. Postgonites with rounded base, pointed apical end bearing three patches of five, four, and four setae, respectively (Fig. 7). Type material. Holotype, female (MZSP900851) from Eptesicus brasiliensis (MZSP27736), BRAZIL: São Paulo: Cananéia, Ilha do Cardoso (25 05'S, 47 59 'W), 16 /XII/ 1990, S. FazzolariCorrêa leg. Paratypes, 1 male and 6 females (MZSP920050), same host species (MZSP28355) and data as holotype except S. FazzolariCorrêa and P.E. Vanzolini leg. Etymology. The specific epithet gives homage to mammalogist Juliana Quadros for her courtesy, and cooperation with our studies of bat flies. In addition to the specimens of B. quadrosae, the following specimens of the closely related species, Basilia ortizi MachadoAllison were examined: 1 female (MZSP47357) from Eptesicus sp., VENEZUELA. San Juan, Rio Manapiare, near San Juan 155 m, 15 /VII/ 1967. One male and 2 females (MZSP47359) from Eptesicus brasiliensis, VENEZUELA, Amazonas, Tamatama, Rio Orinoco, 135 m, 28 /IV/ 1967.
1 female (MZSP920048) from Eptesicus diminutus Osgood (MZSP28354), BRAZIL, São Paulo, Cardoso Island, 29 /V/ 1992, S. FazolariCorrêa and P. E. Vanzolini leg.
