Comparative morphology and identification key for females of nine Sarcophagidae species (Diptera) with forensic importance in Southern Brazil. Rev. Brasil. Entomol.

Even in a forensic entomology framework, where females play a major role, female flesh flies are usually not identified. In order to fill this gap in Southern Brazil fauna we provide detailed descriptions and key for the female of nine species included in four genera: Microcerella halli (Engel), Oxysarcodexia paulistanensis (Mattos), Oxysarcodexia riograndensis (Lopes), Peckia (Euboettcheria) australis (Townsend), Peckia (Euboettcheria) florencioi (Prado and Fonseca), Peckia (Pattonella) intermutans (Walker), Peckia (Pattonella) resona (Lopes), Peckia (Sarcodexia) lambens (Wiedemann), and Sarcophaga (Bercaea) africa (Wiedemann). These species are distinguished mainly by genital characters as tergite 6 divided or undivided, presence of tergite 8, spermatheca morphology and vaginal plate shape.

Scavengers flesh flies (Diptera, Sarcophagidae) from two phytophysiognomies in the state of Maranhão, Northeastern of Brazil

“…Because the main characteristics used to identify the species are based on the male terminalia, only males were identified at species level. The following studies were used for identification: Lopes (1956Lopes ( , 1976, Guimarães (2004), Carvalho & Mello-Patiu (2008, Vairo et al (2011Vairo et al ( , 2015 2016), and Souza et al (2020). We also compared our samples to specimens identified in the entomological collection of the Museu Paraense Emlio Goeldi (MPEG) in Belém, state of Pará, Brazil.…”
