This study estimated the length-weight relationship, sex ratio and population parameters of mantis shrimp, Harpiosquilla harpax from the coastal waters of Pantai Remis, Perak, Malaysia between February 2012 and October 2012. Total length and weight of 804 specimens of H. harpax were measured and the sex ratio was 1: 0.83 (M: F). Males of H. harpax were dominant over the females throughout the s...

The genus Maydelliathelphusa Bott, 1969 includes five species, M. masoniana (Henderson, 1893), edentula (Alcock, 1909), falcidigitis 1910), harpax and lugubris (Wood-Mason, 1871), is endemic to India. Out of the only 1871) was reported from West Bengal previously. Present study reports second Bengal, India for first time.

Identification of insect species is an important task in forensic entomology. For more convenient species identification, the nucleotide sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene have been widely utilized. We analyzed full-length COI nucleotide sequences of 10 Muscidae and 6 Sarcophagidae fly species collected in Korea. After DNA extraction from collected flies, PCR amplification a...
