“…The present work showed greater richness than that found by other studies carried out in Brazil (Souza et al 2008, Cavalcante et al 2015, Amat et al 2016, Gaedke and Mouga 2017, Faria et al 2018, Pamponet et al 2019), including that found by Ururahy-Rodrigues et al (2013) in the same forest reserve. This greater diversity indicates that clothes can positively influence carcass diversity.…”

“…Studies on Diptera have been well discussed in Brazil, where the biology of the main groups has already been studied, especially Calliphoridae (e.g., Barros-Souza et al 2012) and Sarcophagidae (e.g., Barbosa et al 2019). Other studies conducted in this country addressed taphonomic and ecological aspects (Souza et al 2008, Cavalcante et al 2015, Amat et al 2016, Gaedke and Mouga 2017, Faria et al 2018, Pamponet et al 2019).…”

We evaluated the effects of seasonality on the richness and abundance of dipterans of the families Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae associated with the decomposition of a clothed Large White swine Sus scrofa domesticus (Artiodactyla: Suidae) carcass. Experiments were carried out in less rainy, rainy, and intermediate periods between 2010 and 2011 at Reserva Florestal Ducke, Manaus, Amazonas. Two pig carcasses, each weighing approximately 40 kg, were used in each period. A total of 63,872 individuals of 18 species of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae were collected. The abundance and richness of these dipteran families were influenced by the interaction between period and decomposition stage. The compositions of the Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae assemblages differed among periods, with the fauna of the less rainy period being less similar to those of the intermediate and rainy periods than they were to each other. Three species were selected as indicators for the less rainy period, namely Paralucilia pseudolyrcea (Mello, 1969) (Diptera, Calliphoridae), Paralucilia nigrofacialis (Mello, 1969) (Diptera, Calliphoridae), and Eumesembrinella randa (Walker, 1849) (Diptera,Mesembrinellidae) while Chloroprocta idioidea (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) (Dipetra, Calliphoridae) was selected as an indicator species for the rainy period; no taxon was selected as an indicator of the intermediate period. Among decomposition stages, only fermentation and black putrefaction had indicator taxa, with Hemilucilia souzalopesi Mello, 1972 (Diptera, Calliphoridae and Chysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera, Calliphoridae), respectively. Clothes did not prevent the laying of eggs and became a kind of protection for immature stages. The clothed model presented a delay in decomposition compared to other studies developed in the Amazon region.

“…As an example, Chloroprocta idioidea , the only species of the genus Chloroprocta Wulp, 1896 (Calliphoridae), was recorded in Venezuela by Hall (1948), Cova (1964), Dear (1985) and Kosmann et al (2013) and was the most abundant (66.3% of the total sampled specimens) species collected in a recent survey of necrophagous flies in the North Brazilian Amazon (Amat et al 2016). However, it was not found in any Venezuelan museum and only two specimens from Venezuela were examined, from BMNH.…”

A checklist of the 39 species of blow flies (Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae) so far known to occur in Venezuela is provided, based on a thorough literature review and the examination of ca. 500 specimens deposited in the main entomological collections of the country. Data from the literature and museum collections were used to generate distribution maps for 37 species. Three species are recorded from Venezuela for the first time: Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1830), Mesembrinella spicata Aldrich, 1925 and Mesembrinella umbrosa Aldrich, 1922.
