Cobboldia is a genus of parasitic flies in the family Oestridae. Adult flies of lay their eggs near the mouth or base of the tusks of Asian elephant while the related (=Platycobboldia loxodontis) parasitizes African elephants. The larvae hatch and develop in the mouth cavity and later move to the stomach. On maturing, the third instar larvae exit from the mouth and drop to the ground to pupate. A fossil species is known from the frozen remains of Mammoths. Cobboldia roverei Gedoelst, 1915 (=Rodhainommia roverei, the green elephant stomach bot fly) has been noted from the African Forest Elephant.
