“…Shannon (1923) first suggested it should be a subfamily, Mesembrinellinae, within Calliphoridae. Many researchers followed him (Hall 1948;Roback 1951;Mello 1967Mello , 1969James 1970;Peris & Mariluis 1984;Mariluis 1987;Bonatto & Marinoni 2005;Vargas & Wood 2009;Marinho et al 2012;Wolff 2013;Wolff et al 2013a;Wolff et al 2013b;Wolff et al 2014). Guimarães (1977) published the last in-depth taxonomic revision of Mesembrinellidae, reviewing its taxonomic history since Robineau-Desvoidy's (1830) establishment of the group "Muscidae Testaceae".…”

“…They also provided a key to Brazilian blow flies, including five genera and 14 species of Mesembrinellinae. Wolff et al (2014) reviewed Thompsoniella, described a new species, T. andina Wolff et al, 2014, and provided a key to separate males of T. anomala from T. andina as well as a key to the genera of Mesembrinellinae. Despite the works of Guimarães (1977) and Rognes (1997) recommending elevation of Mesembrinellinae to family rank, most authors continued treating the group as a subfamily of Calliphoridae.…”

The Neotropical family Mesembrinellidae is revised. A total of 53 valid, extant species are included in the family, including 15 described as new and 38 redescribed based on study of type and non-type material and of the literature. A total of 18 primary types were examined. An additional ca. 2300 specimens, belonging to 47 species, were studied in detail, including dissection and photographic documentation of terminalia, with many females illustrated for the first time. Keys to subfamilies, genera, species-groups and species are provided. Type specimens of six species housed in South American institutions could not be obtained for study, i.e., M. bequaerti Séguy, 1925 and the five recently described species M. andina (Wolff et al., 2014), M. carvalhoi (Wolff et al., 2013b), M. cordillera (Wolff & Ramos-Pastrana in Wolff et al., 2017), M. obscura (Wolff in Wolff et al., 2017) and Laneella patriciae (Wolff, 2013). We accept the synonymy, proposed by previous authors, of Eumesembrinella Townsend, 1931 with Mesembrinella Giglio-Tos, 1893. In addition, we synonymize the genera Albuquerquea Mello, 1967, Giovanella Bonatto in Bonatto & Marinoni, 2005, Henriquella Bonatto in Bonatto & Marinoni, 2005, Huascaromusca Townsend, 1918 and Thompsoniella Guimarães, 1977 with Mesembrinella Giglio-Tos, 1893, synn. nov., retaining three valid genera in the family: Laneella Mello, 1967, Mesembrinella and Souzalopesiella Guimarães, 1977. Laneella nigripes Guimarães, 1977 and Mesembrinella bellardiana Aldrich, 1922 are fixed as the type species of the genera Laneella Mello, 1967 and Mesembrinella Giglio-Tos, 1893, respectively, under Article 70.3 of the ICZN Code. We separate Mesembrinella into the following species-groups: M. latifrons (Mello, 1967), M. spicata Aldrich, 1925, M. bolivar (Bonatto in Bonatto & Marinoni, 2005), M. aeneiventris (Wiedemann, 1830), M. bicolor (Fabricius, 1805), and M. anomala (Guimarães, 1977). The following 15 new species are described: Laneella fusconitida Whitworth, sp. nov. from Costa Rica, Ecuador and Venezuela, Laneella fuscosquamata Whitworth, sp. nov. from Guatemala and Mexico, Laneella purpurea Whitworth, sp. nov. from Costa Rica, Mesembrinella bullata Whitworth, sp. nov. from Bolivia, Mesembrinella chantryi Whitworth, sp. nov. from French Guiana and Brazil, Mesembrinella epandrioaurantia Whitworth, sp. nov. from Venezuela, Mesembrinella guaramacalensis Whitworth, sp. nov. from Venezuela, Mesembrinella longicercus Whitworth, sp. nov. from Bolivia, Mesembrinella mexicana Whitworth, sp. nov. from Mexico, Mesembrinella nigrocoerulea Whitworth, sp. nov. from Costa Rica, Ecuador and Venezuela, Mesembrinella serrata Whitworth, sp. nov. from Peru, Mesembrinella velasquezae Whitworth, sp. nov. from Venezuela, Mesembrinella violacea Whitworth, sp. nov. from Costa Rica, Mesembrinella woodorum Whitworth, sp. nov. from Ecuador, and Mesembrinella zurquiensis Whitworth, sp. nov. from Costa Rica. Mesembrinella abaca Hall, 1948 is proposed as a junior synonym of Mesembrinella socors (Walker, 1861), syn. nov. Lectotypes are designated for Dexia randa Walker, 1849 (now Mesembrinella) and Mesembrinella pictipennis Aldrich, 1922. We analyze the most extensive DNA-barcode dataset for Mesembrinellidae to date, encompassing the three genera considered valid and including 188 sequences (178 new) from 35 species, with data for 23 species provided for the first time. The topology of the resulting Neighbor-Joining tree is mostly congruent with morphology; however, some species show considerable genetic variation that is not reflected by morphology. Finally, we include a corrigendum to the recent Zootaxa paper on Nearctic Calliphora Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) by Tantawi et al.

“…The group comprising Mesembrinella and related genera (Diptera: Calyptratae: Oestroidea) currently includes 36 described species distributed in nine genera (Guimarães, 1977;Bonatto, 2001;Bonatto and Marinoni, 2005;Wolff, 2013;Wolff et al, 2013Wolff et al, , 2014.

The first phylogenetic study of Mesembrinellidae (Diptera: Oestroidea) based on molecular data: clades and congruence with morphological characters

The Mesembrinellidae (Diptera: Oestroidea) comprise a small group of strictly Neotropical calyptrate flies, with 36 described species. The group has often been treated as a subfamily of Calliphoridae, but there is growing evidence that it corresponds to a distinct Oestroidea lineage. Internal relationships have so far been addressed based only on morphology, with results lacking resolution and support. This is the first molecular phylogeny for the group, which is based on the analyses of 80 terminal taxa (22 mesembrinellid and 28 outgroup species) and 5 molecular markers (ITS2, 28S, COI, COII and 16S). Maximum‐parsimony, maximum‐likelihood and Bayesian inference methods were used, the latter two with partitioning strategies considering codon position and secondary structure information. Results corroborate the Mesembrinellidae as a monophyletic lineage inside Oestroidea. Three clades were consistently recovered: (1) (Laneella + Mesembrinella patriciae); (2) (Mesembrinella (excluding M. patriciae) + Eumesembrinella); and (3) (Huascaromusca + Giovanella). Re‐examination of the female reproductive tract of M. patriciae revealed a Laneela‐type spermatheca, which corroborates the position of the species recovered in the molecular phylogenetic analyses. Mesembrinella and Huascaromusca are in all cases paraphyletic with regards to Eumesembrinella and Giovanella, respectively. These latter two genera should, thus, be seen as subjective junior synonyms.

In the case of Mesembrinellidae the keys of Guimarães (1977), Bonatto and Marinoni (2005) and Wolff et al (2014) were used. The dissection and study of male terminalia were carried out following Whitworth (2006, 2010).…”

“…In more recent taxonomic studies from the region, Vargas and Wood (2012) provided a comprehensive review and key to Central American genera; Whitworth (2010) studied the species present in the West Indies, providing keys and reviewing some species, as well as describing a new one; the same author carried out a complete revision of the six species of Calliphora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 from the Neotropical Region (Whitworth 2012) and a revision of 23 species of the genus Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 found in the Neotropics, where he provided an identification key and described six new species (Whitworth 2014). The recent revisions of some genera of Mesembrinellidae, including descriptions of new species (Wolff et al 2012, Wolff 2013, Wolff et al 2013, 2014) and the first phylogenetic study of this family (Marinho et al 2016), have been significant. There are also a list of valid blow fly names from the Americas south of Mexico provided by Kosmann et al (2013) and a catalogue of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae of Colombia (Wolff and Kosmann 2016).…”

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.
