Abstract: Twenty-seven species of calyptrate muscoids (Muscidae and Sarcophagidae) were collected from December 1993 to November 1994 with wind oriented traps (W.O.T.) baited with decomposing beef liver at the Rio de Janeiro Zoo. The most abundant species found were Musca domestica (57.84%), Peckia chrysostoma (28.16%), Ophyra aenescens (17.11%), Oxysarcodexia thornax (17.82%), Synthesiomyia nudiseta (13.05%), and Oxysarcodexia diana (14.52%).

“…This genus is considered of importance in forensic entomology studies in Brazil due to its abundance, diversity, and scavenger habits (Dias et al 1984, Carvalho and Linhares 2001, Oliveira et al 2002, Barros et al 2008, Rosa et al 2009, Barbosa et al 2009. A study by Oliveira et al (2002) reported 11 species in Rio de Janeiro, of which Oxys. thornax (Walker, 1849) was the most abundant species, while in the present study Oxys.…”

“…Many flesh fly species seem to be closely associated with humans and domestic animals, and they are found in dung and organic decaying matter (Oliveira et al 2002). Some species are pathogen vectors of protozoans, helminths, enteropathogenic bacteria, and enteroviruses (Greenberg 1971), and others cause myasis in vertebrates (Dodge 1955, Crump and Pounds 1985, Hagman et al 2005, Stevens et al 2006, Bermudez et al 2010, Mello-Patiu and Luna-Dias 2010.…”

“…Genus Oxysarcodexia is widely distributed in the Neotropical regions (Lopes 1946), and in Brazil, O. thornax (Walker) is found in both urban and rural areas of several states. This species is abundant in the state of Rio de Janeiro, occurring preferentially in the summer season, with the population peak between January and February (Oliveira et al 2002).In biological systems, proteases may carry out (i) a regulatory function by activation or inactivation of specific proteins via selective proteolysis, and (ii) a nonspecific proteolytic function involved in general protein hydrolysis. Such proteolytic mechanisms are highly regulated and are involved in a variety of physiologic processes, such as programmed cell death, stress responses (heat shock and anoxia), skeletal muscle atrophy, cellcell recognition, signal transduction and learning, morphogenesis, and photoreceptor light adaptation (Mykles 1998).…”
