Discovery of Blaesoxipha litoralis Villenueve, 1911 (Diptera, Sarcophagidae) in Korea

New records of Sarcophagidae from Turkey (Diptera)

Faunistic records of 68 flesh fly species are presented, and altogether, 22 species are recorded from Turkey for the first time. A further 46 species were recorded for the first time in at least one Turkish province. This paper presents the first locality data for four additional species, which were previously mentioned only generically in catalogues. One new synonym has been established, Serva...

Synanthropy of sarcophagidae (Diptera) in La Pintada, Antioquia-Colombia.

Recently, populations of flies have increased in numbers given the elevated levels of organic matter waste produced by anthropic activities and domestication of animals. Such increase represents a worldwide health concern, since flies can be vectors of human diseases. The great variety of feeding and developmental habits of flies of the family Sarcophagidae taking place on animal corpses, feces...

Cytogenetics of the neotropical flesh fly Pattonella intermutans (Diptera, Sarcophagidae)

Flies of the family Sarcophagidae are extremely common insects of worldwide distribution. These flies have an extensive variety of alimentary habits during the larval phase, the most common of which involves animal carcasses (James, 1947).

Larval ultrastructure of Parasarcophaga dux (Thomson) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae).

Ultrastructure of all larval instars of Parasarcophaga dux (Thomson), a common flesh fly species in Thailand, is presented using scanning electron microscopy. Special attention is given to the structure of anterior and posterior spiracles since these are important features used to differentiate between other sarcophagids. Each anterior spiracle in second and third instars has a single row of pa...
