They are well known for diversified species and habitats, but in the context of forensic entomology, scuttle flies' inhabitance of corpses remains inadequately explored. With recent reports indicating the existence of more scuttle fly species possibly inhabiting these environments, a decomposition study using anim...

متن کاملEuropean Phalacrotophora ( Diptera : Phoridae )
Hitherto six species of scuttle fly of the cosmopolitan genus Phalacrotophora Enderlein were known from Europe, of which only two were recorded from Britain and the Netherlands (Disney, 1991). The larvae of these two species, P. berolinensis Schmitz and P. fasciata (Fallén), are parasitoids of the pupae of Coccinellidae (ladybird beetles) (Disney, Majerus & Walpole, 1994).

متن کاملDevelopmental Variation of Indian Thermophilic Variety of Scuttle Fly Megaselia (Megaselia) scalaris (Loew, 1866) (Diptera: Phoridae) on Different Substrates
The scuttle flies (Diptera: Phoridae) are important in forensic dipterology, because of their necrophagous habit. They are amongst the first wave of insects visiting human corpses in mechanically barricaded environments; hence their immature stages are generally used for estimation of PMI. The effect of different substrates commonly used for developmental studies was studied to analyze the vari...
