“…Sarcodexia lambens showed a strong attraction for fish and chicken viscera, in accordance to other studies where this species has been found in a large proportion in corpses (Barros et al 2008). However, it is an opportunistic species and it has been attracted by a variety of substrata, such as pig and human corpses (Oliveira-Costa et al 2001, Barros et al 2008, Barbosa et al 2009, and even causing myasis in humans (Queiroz de Leão et al 1996, Fernandes et al 2009) and frogs (Hagman et al 2005). Linhares (1981) reported Helicobia morionella (Aldrich, 1930) attracted by chicken viscera, mouse corpses and human faeces, showed the highest abundance in the latter; it also resulted in a synanthropic index that reveals a complete rejection for human settlements.…”

“…This species revealed a necrophagous behavior, also evidenced in Rio de Janeiro and Campinas, in a similar way (Linhares 1981, D'Almeida 1984. It has been collected in decomposing fish (Leandro et al 2005), pig corpses (Barros et al 2008, Barbosa et al 2009) and human corpses (Oliveira-Costa et al 2001) in Brazil, where is of great forensic importance.…”

Sinantropía de Sarcophagidae (Diptera) en La Pintada, Antioquia-Colombia. Recently, populations of flies have increased in numbers given the elevated levels of organic matter waste produced by anthropic activities and domestication of animals. Such increase represents a worldwide health concern, since flies can be vectors of human diseases. The great variety of feeding and developmental habits of flies of the family Sarcophagidae taking place on animal corpses, feces and decomposed organic matter make them potential vectors of pathogens. Herein, we evaluated the synanthropic index (SI), as well as other ecological aspects of this family, through simultaneous monthly samplings in three areas with different degrees of human disturbance (urban, rural and forest). Each area had four van Someren Rydon traps, each one with a different bait (i.e., human feces, chicken viscera, fish and decomposing onion). Traps were active during 48 hours each month, and specimen collection was made every 12 hours. A total of 7 446 Sarcophagidae individuals were collected (1 275 males and 6 171 females), belonging to 27 species and nine genera. Tricharaea (Sarcophagula) canuta (SI=+96.67), Oxysarcodexia taitensis (SI=+93.85), Peckia (Peckia) chrysostoma (SI=+90.00) and Tricharaea (Sarcophagula) occidua (SI=+88.76) exhibited the highest values of synanthropy index, revealing a strong preference for human settlements. The most abundant species were Oxysarcodexia conclausa (21.80%), Ravinia effrenata (18.67%), Oxysarcodexia bakeri (11.45%) and Oxysarcodexia taitensis (10.20%), all of which exhibited preference for urban environments. Additionally, we are reporting seven new records of Sarcophagid flies for Colombia: Oxysarcodexia angrensis, Oxysarcodexia bakeri, Oxysarcodexia diana, Oxysarcodexia similata, Oxysarcodexia timida, Peckia (Peckia) pexata and Titanogrypa (Cucullomyia) placida.

“…We selected a total of 36 specimens comprising three species that were of potential forensic importance (Carvalho et al, 2000;Barbosa et al, 2009;Barbosa et al, 2010;Oliveira and Vasconcelos, 2010), namely: O. fluminensis, P. intermutans, and P. chrysostoma. To determine possible haplotype variations of the population, these species were sampled at three sites in the City of Rio de Janeiro.…”

“…As compared with Calliphoridae, only a few studies on community succession on carcasses in Brazil have included data on Sarcophagidae (Moura et al, 1997;Carvalho et al, 2000;Carvalho et al, 2004;Barbosa et al, 2009) in Rio de Janeiro (Barbosa et al, 2009). Some species have been suggested as possible indicators for forensic purposes, including: Oxysarcodexia fluminensis (Lopes, 1946), Peckia (Pattonella) intermutans (Walker, 1861), and Peckia (Peckia) chrysostoma (Wiedemann, 1830).…”

resumenLa entomología forense utiliza la biología y ecología de los insectos en casos médico-legales. Para su adecuada aplicación en este contexto, es necesario hacer una correcta identificación taxonómica de los especímenes relacionados con un caso en cualquier estado de desarrollo que se hayan encontrado. Frecuentemente en esta área se obtienen muestras incompletas o deterioradas de los adultos, dificultando su identificación. Una de las familias comúnmente encontrada en el contexto forense es Muscidae. El objetivo de este estudio es describir e ilustrar las características morfológicas de los genitales de machos adultos de Biopyrellia bipuncta (Wiedemann, 1830), Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 y Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp, 1883), especies con importancia forense en Colombia. Se describen e ilustran caracteres genitales masculinos claves para la identificación morfológica: esternito V, la placa cercal, el surstilo y el aedeago. Adicionalmente, se proporcionan diagnosis complementarias de características morfológicas externas. Palabras clave: entomología forense, identificación, M. domestica, B. bipuncta, S. nudiseta.

For a precise application in this context, it is necessary to make a correct taxonomic identification in any developmental stage of the specimens related to a case. Incomplete or damaged samples of adults are often obtained from the case scene, making taxonomical identification unlikely. Muscidae is one of the families commonly found in the forensic context. The objective of this study is to describe and to illustrate the morphological characteristics of the adult male genitalia of Biopyrellia bipuncta (Wiedemann, 1830), Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 and Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp, 1883), species with forensic importance in Colombia. Male genitalia structures like V sternite, the cercal plate, the surstyli and aedeagus are described and illustrated. Additionally complementary diagnosis of external morphological characteristics are provided.
