“…However, other than a few studies of selected taxa (e.g. Leite & Lopes, 1989; Lopes & Leite, 1990, 1991; Chaiwong et al. , 2007) SEM has not been used to homologize genitalic structures across a range of sarcophagine genera.…”

“…Roback (1954) and Sugiyama & Kano (1984) both used genitalic, mainly phallic, morphology to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Sarcophaginae, but the former suffers from a noncladistic approach and the latter from a very narrow systematic sampling through a strict focus on the Old World fauna. Lopes (1990) studied the phylogeny of the New World genera with male proclinate orbital bristles. Pape (1994) tested the monophyly of Blaesoxipha Loew, but also investigated the phylogenetic relationships of ten sarcophagine genera based on a groundplan scoring approach (Yeates, 1995).…”

The morphology of the acrophallus, the distal portion of the male phallus carrying the phallotreme, was studied in 72 exemplar species representing 56 genera and subgenera of the flesh fly subfamily Sarcophaginae. For 42 of those species, scanning electron microscopy was used to clarify the phallic morphology. Terms used to describe the male genitalia were updated based on new interpretations of homology. Male genitalic characters, combined with other morphological characters of adult males and females and of larvae, were used to construct a phylogeny. The monophyly of the subfamily was supported, and some generic-level sister-group relationships proposed in the literature, but without previous cladistic analyses, were also supported. The genus Blaesoxipha Loew, as currently recognized, was not monophyletic in our analysis. The genus Helicobia Coquillett is synonymized with Sarcophaga Meigen syn. nov. and treated as a subgenus of the latter. The Sarcophaga subgenera Neobellieria Blanchard and Mehria Enderlein were not monophyletic. Many of the clades in the analysis were supported primarily or exclusively by male genitalic character states, highlighting the importance of the male genitalia as a source of morphological characters for sarcophagine phylogeny.

Taxonomic Revision ofLipoptilocnema(Diptera: Sarcophagidae), With Notes on Natural History and Forensic Importance of Its Species

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Lipoptilocnema Townsend is a small genus of Neotropical Sarcophaginae with a distinctive genitalic morphology. This genus is revised based on the examination of the type series and large numbers of specimens of the seven previously known species, plus three new ones herein described, one from Argentina (L. delfinado Mulieri and Mello-Patiu, sp. nov.), and two from Brazil (L. savana Mulieri and Mello-Patiu, sp. nov. and L. tibanae Mulieri and Mello-Patiu, sp. nov.). All species are described or redescribed and illustrated. Distribution maps and a key for male identification are provided. The taxonomic position of this genus is reviewed and the interpretation of phallic structures is discussed. Notes on the natural history of Lipoptilocnema species are provided, and their potential importance as PMI indicators is highlighted, including the first record of Lipoptilocnema reared from a dead human body.
