The hitherto unknown female and first-instar larva of the deer bot fly Cephenemyia albina Taber and Fleenor (Diptera:Oestridae), recently described on the basis of four male specimens, are described and compared with C. phobifera (Clark) with which it co-occurs in east-central Texas. One larviparous female of each species and additional males of C. albina were collected from the latter's type locality in Malaise traps baited with dry ice.
