“…Males of both pale and dark specimens from localities throughout the range of this species have been dissected and r have found the aedeagus, surstyli and cerci to be identical in all cases. This is supported by Mello (1965) in his paper on the variation of this species (as costalis) in Brazil: his illustrations only show minute variation in details of the genitalia, which are probably no more than artefacts resulting from slide-mounting prior to drawing. Males of this species always have the anterior eye-facets enlarged, but this is much more striking in certain specimens.…”

“…Despite confirmation of the anthropic effect on the collection site, the presence of the subfamily Mesembrinellinae was confirmed, whose nature is asynanthropic, i.e., it is totally averse to environments altered by humans and is restricted to ombrophilous forests (MELLO, 1967;D'ALMEIDA & LOPES, 1983). Within this group, L. nigripes was the most abundant and was trapped in every collection month.…”

ABSTRACT. The purpose of this work was to determine the diversity and population fluctuations of calliphorid flies in the Biological Reserve of Tinguá (ReBio-Tinguá), Nova Iguaçu, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and to correlate their occurrence with the environmental variables of temperature, rainfall and relative air humidity. Specimens of Diptera were collected monthly between June 2002 and January 2005 using four traps placed at four points along a trail and exposed for 48 hours. The traps were baited with sardines and the trapped insects were stored in 70% alcohol. It was collected 8,528 calliphorids, thirteen species were identified among the blowflies including Laneela nigripes Guimarães 1977, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794 (Aldrich, 1922). No significant correlation was found between the abundance of blowflies and the temperature and relative air humidity. Only C. megacephala and C. albiceps showed a positive and significant correlation with rainfall. An analysis of grouping by month (UPGMA) revealed no seasonal difference in the composition of the community, indicating that the community of calliphorid flies is probably more influenced by the ecological niches occupied by each species than by the seasons of the year.

Não foi encontrada correlação significativa entre a abundância dos califorídeos e a temperatura e umidade relativa do ar. Somente C. megacephala e C. albiceps apresentaram correlação positiva e significativa com a precipitação. A análise de agrupamento dos meses (UPGMA) mostrou que não houve diferença na composição da comunidade em relação à sazonalidade, indicando que a comunidade de califorídeos é provavelmente mais influenciada pelos nichos ecológicos ocupados por cada uma das espécies do que pelas estações do ano.

“…This is very important, since both species belong to the subfamily Mesembrinellinae, described in the literature as being exclusively Neotropical and resident of dense forests and wetlands (Mello, 1967;Toma and Carvalho, 1995). Therefore, the PARNA Tijuca has the conditions for the establishment of forest species in the more internal areas.…”

In this contribution we examine the diversity, abundance and species richness of Calliphoridae in the Tijuca National Park, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Specimens were collected monthly between September 2009 and August 2010, using sardines as bait, in three points: A, on the forest edge (22°56'846"S 43°17'496"W), B, 700m from it (22°57'073"S 43°17'832"W) and C, 1,200m into the forest (22°57'321"S 43°18'031"W), evaluating the indicator species at each point and the anthropogenic influences and abiotic factors that determine species distribution. A total of 16,364 Calliphoridae were collected and 17 species were identified. Species abundance was strongly positively correlated with temperature. The greatest number of flies was collected at A, but in this point, diversity was lower and most individuals collected belonged to the dominant species. Point C, conversely, had the lower abundance and the highest diversity. Chrysomya megacephala, an urban and synanthropic species, was dominant at point A, whereas Laneela nigripes and Mesembrinella peregrina, typically forest species, were considered indicators at points B and C, respectively, showing that the anthropogenic influence is more intense at the forest edge.Keywords: Atlantic Forest, diversity, environmental preservation, insect fauna.
