Análise morfológica das formas imaturas de Sarconesia chlorogaster (Wiedemann) (Diptera, Calliphoridae, Toxotarsinae)

Abstract

ABSTRACT. MORPIIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF IMMATURE STAGES OF (Wiedemann, 1830) were obtained rearing it on an artificial diet in a temperature controlled chamber set at 27± 1°C, 70± 10% RH and 12 hours photophase. The egg, three larval instars and puparium were described and illustrated together with the larval cephalopharyngeal skeleton. Some characters were studied, for the first time using lhe scanning electron microscopy.

Notes on the last instar larva and pupa of Hemiargus hanno (Stoll) (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Polyommatinae)

“…Specimens for SEM were critical point dried , mounted and sputter-coated before being photographed using a Philips SEM 505 (for more details on this methodology, see BONATTO & CARVALHO 1996). …”

Egg morphology of nine species of pollenia robineau‐desvoidy, 1830 (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

“…Because of considerable medical, veterinary, and forensic importance, the morphology of immature stages of some of the more anthropophilic species of Calliphoridae has been relatively well studied to date (Bonatto and Carvalho, 1996; Erzinçlioğlu, 1989; Greenberg and Singh, 1995; Kitching, 1976; Mendonça et al, 2008, 2010; Peterson and Newman, 1991; Richards and Morrison, 1972b; Sukontason et al, 2004a, 2004b; Sukontason et al, 2007, 2008; Szpila et al, 2008; Tawfik and El‐Husseini, 1971; Thyssen and Linhares, 2007). On the other hand, egg morphology of many blowfly genera still has not been studied, preventing comprehensive comparisons of egg morphology at the genus level.…”

“…A comparison with the literature on calliphorid egg morphology revealed differences allowing an easy separation of Pollenia eggs from those of other genera of Calliphoridae. The plastron‐bearing area in other Calliphoridae, unlike Pollenia , has an uniform island pattern on its entire surface (Bonatto and Carvalho, 1996; Erzinçlioğlu, 1989; Greenberg and Singh, 1995; Kitching, 1976; Mendonça et al, 2008, 2010; Peterson and Newman, 1991; Sukontason et al, 2004a; Thyssen and Linhares, 2007). Also, in species with well developed hatching pleats, the inner surface has a pattern identical to that of the remaining median area, e.g., Calliphora grahami (Aldrich) (as Aldrichina grahami ) (Sukontason et al, 2004a), Hemipyrellia liguriens (Wiedemann) (Sukontason et al, 2008), and Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann) (Mendonça et al, 2008).…”

“…A similar feature has so far been recorded only in Cynomya mortuorum (Erzinçlioğlu, 1989). In other species of blowflies chorionic reticulations can be: faint, as in Sarconesia chlorogaster (Bonatto and Carvalho, 1996), Hemilucilia segmentaria (Thyssen and Linhares, 2007), Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Mendonca et al, 2010), and Ch. megacephala (Fabricius); well marked as in Calliphora grahami (Sukontason et al, 2004a) and Hemipyrellia ligurriens (Sukontason et al, 2008); with distinctly elevated boundaries along the entire egg length as in Ch.…”
