“…For identification, see Grisales & de Carvalho (2019) for a key for males of Fannia species from Central and North Andes and Central America. Some species of Euryomma and Fannia may be important to forensic studies, including in estimating post-mortem intervals (Grisales et al, 2016). The list of species from Roraima follows de Carvalho (1991) and de Carvalho & Couri (1992).…”

Checklist of the dipterofauna (Insecta) from Roraima, Brazil, with special reference to the Brazilian Ecological Station of Maracá

et al. 2022

Roraima is a Brazilian state located in the northern portion of the Amazon basin, with few studies regarding its biodiversity. The Ecological Station of Maracá (Brazil, state of Roraima) harbors the third largest Brazilian pluvial island and is composed of a transitional landscape of savanna and Amazon rainforest components. Despite its ecological importance and strategic localization, few studies covered the dipterofauna of this locality. An updated checklist addressing 41 families of true flies (Diptera) occurring in Roraima is presented based on the literature and the specimens collected during a field expedition that occurred in 2015. This checklist brings several improvements such as new records of 165 taxa to the state of Roraima, 29 taxa to Brazil, and 259 morphotypes, mostly likely representing undescribed species.

“…Animal carrion and dead human bodies have been observed to attract more than 50 species of fanniids worldwide [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], with 15 species confirmed as developing on cadavers [ 3 , 4 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. However, due to taxonomic issues and difficulties in obtaining accurate species identifications, most studies refer only to a few common species of Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (e.g., Fannia canicularis (Linnaeus, 1761), Fannia manicata (Meigen, 1826), Fannia pusio (Wiedemann, 1830) and Fannia scalaris (Fabricius, 1794)) [ 23 , 26 ].…”

Application of available keys to European Fanniidae did not facilitate unequivocal species identification for third instar larvae and females of Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 collected during a study of arthropod succession on pig carrion. To link these samples to known species, we took the advantage of molecular identification methods and compared newly obtained cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) barcode sequences against sequences deposited in reference databases. As an outcome of the results obtained, we describe for the first time a third instar larva of Fannia nigra Malloch, 1910 and Fannia pallitibia (Rondani, 1866) and a female of Fannia collini d’Assis-Fonseca, 1966. We provide combinations of characters allowing for discrimination of described insects from other Fanniidae. We provide an update for the key by Rozkošný et al. 1997, which allows differentiation between females of F. collini and other species of Fanniidae. Additionally, we provide a case of a human cadaver discovered in Southern Poland and insect fauna associated with it as the first report of F. nigra larvae developing on a human body.

“…Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy is the most diverse genus of the Fanniidae family (Insecta, Diptera, Muscomorpha), representing about 90% of the species richness of Neotropical fanids 1 . Although it can develop in different substrates, the great majority of species present saprophagous habits 2 .…”

Status and challenges for the molecular characterization of Fannia (Insecta, Diptera, Fanniidae) in Brazil

2018

Both the advancement of technology associated with molecular characterization studies of species have contributed to the increased use of the Barcode DNA method for identifying individuals. For some areas, such as forensics, species determination is essential for information regarding the time of death. In this study, Fannia nucleotide sequences available in public databases were quantified and used to evaluate the scenario and the challenge to establish molecular research with fanids in Brazil.
