“…With regard to Muscidae, there are a number of inventories in Brazil, but unbalanced between the different Brazilian biomes and states. For example, while there is a voluminous literature on Muscidae for the States of Paraná and Rio de Janeiro (e.g., Carvalho et al, 1984;D'Almeida, 1991;Pamplona et al, 2000;Oliveira et al, 2002;Costacurta et al, 2003;Couri & Carvalho, 2005;Leandro & D'Almeida, 2005;Rodríguez-Fernández et al, 2006;Couri & Barros, 2009), the most rich and populous Brazilian State remains with the Muscidae diversity knowledge still incipient. Furthermore, it is relatively scarce the Muscidae surveys in the Neotropics based on the use of non-baited collecting techniques (e.g., Carvalho & Couri, 1991;Costacurta et al, 2003;Rodríguez-Fernández et al, 2006;Krüger et al, 2010;Zafalon-Silva et al, 2018).…”

A first survey of Muscidae in the State of São Paulo (Southeastern Brazil) is presented here with a one-year of Malaise trap collecting from August 2010 to July 2011 at the Biological Reserve Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba (23°46′00″-23°47′10″S, 46°18′20″-46°20′40″W, 750-891 m of altitude). A total of 1,284 individuals of muscids were collected, and 15 genera and 39 species of Muscidae were identified. So far, only one muscid species had been recorded to the Reserve, which now has its Muscidae diversity increased to 40 species. Thirteen species are new records for the State of São Paulo. With this, the number of species of Muscidae species known to occur in the State of São Paulo is increased to 169. The interval between November and February was higher in number of individuals and number of species. Muscidae presented a seasonal pattern, with more abundance and diversity in that interval. The study area is covered by secondary forest and very close to São Paulo metropolitan area, and the composition of the fauna of Muscidae signalizes this environment changing and anthropic stress with nine species with synanthropic habits, two of them are typically synanthropic species.

Ultrastructure of immature stages of the black dump fly: Ophyra aenescens (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Muscidae: Azeliinae)

et al. 2016

Ophyra aenescens (black dump fly) originally belonged to the New World, however, now it is spread worldwide. This fly is a mechanical vector of some pathogenic microorganisms and eggs of the human botfly (Dermatobia hominis). The adults are associated with decaying matter and the immature stages colonize animal and human corpses. It is considered an important muscid species for forensic entomology. The aim of this study was to describe the morphology of the eggs, the three larval instars and the puparia of O. aenescens using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The spiracular opening of the first instar has an interruption in the middle of its length. Comparing to the other instar, the ventral tubercles are only developed in the first instar. The anterior spiracles have a variation in the numbers of spiracular ramification. The puparia morphology is similar to the third instar larvae, however the cephalic region is retracted and on the third thoracic segment, a respiratory structure is present. In conclusion, the SEM technique used and the results obtained are helpful to describe and differentiate the immature stages of O. aenescens and consequently support forensic and medical entomology.

Flies of the family Calliphoridae play a variety of ecological roles. They carry various pathogens and cause myiasis in humans and livestock, but they are useful to forensic entomology and in larval therapy. Mesembrinellidae flies, formerly classified in the family Calliphoridae, are good bioindicators of human interference in natural environments. In this study, we carried out an inventory of the Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae at four collecting sites within the Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro. Eight traps were set, four in the arboretum (sites A and B), where the public is allowed to visit, and four at an Atlantic Forest fragment (sites C and D), open only to researchers. From July 2014 to June 2015, a total of 35,890 calliphorid flies were captured in 10 species and 145 Mesembrinellidea in 3. The greatest number of flies was found at site A and diversity was higher at site C. Chrysomya megacephala (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) was the most prevalent species, being present at all sites. Mesembrinella bellardiana (Aldrich) (Diptera: Mesembrinellidae), Laneella nigripes (Guimarães) (Diptera: Mesembrinellidae), and Huascaromusca purpurata (Aldrich) (Diptera: Mesembrinellidae) were present at sites C and D, which indicates a preservation of the area because they are asynanthropic species. There were significant differences between sites A and D and sites B and D.
