“…The variation of this factor in the laboratory alters the survival of specimens of other necrophagous flies such as O. aenescens (Ribeiro et al 2000a(Ribeiro et al , 2000b. The results demonstrated the adaptive capacity of O. albuquerquei to this region, thus reiterating its forensic importance to southern South America (Moura et al 1997;Souza et al 2008;Patitucci et al 2010).…”

“…Azeliinae; facultative predator; forensic entomology; garbage flies; Neotropical. (Carvalho et al 2005;Patitucci et al 2010) and has been found in carcasses of rodents (Moura et al 1997), rabbits ) and pigs (Barbosa et al 2009). In these substrates, the larvae may feed in a saprophytic way and also predate on larvae of other flies that are found in these systems (Skidmore 1985).…”

“…In Brasil, Moura et al [5] found adults and larvae of O. discicolle in rat carrion in the state of Paraná; Carvalho et al [6] found larvae of O. discicolle in pig carrion in the state of São Paulo. In Colombia, only adults of O. discicolle have been reported; Barreto et al [7] registered the species in human corpses in Cali; and Wolff et al [8] in pig carrion in Medellín.…”

Due to its necrophagy, the Neotropical beetle Oxelytrum discicolle (Brullé, 1840) is found in association with human corpses. Its biology can provide important information to determine the postmortem interval (PMI). We studied the life cycle of O. discicolle in the laboratory under three constant temperatures (15, 20 and 28ºC) and under natural conditions (mean T = 18.5ºC) in a cloud forest in Altos de Pipe (10°20'N, 66°55'W) Miranda state, Venezuela. The total time required to complete development from egg to adult emergence shortened as temperatures increased, ranging from 40.00 ± 2.73 days at 15ºC to 20.33 ± 0.89 days at 28ºC.Developmental time on natural conditions was not significantly different from that obtained at 20ºC. This information would be useful to forensic entomology applied to criminal investigations in Venezuela and the Neotropical region.

“…São referidos como importantes polinizadores de plantas com fl ores principalmente brancas, cor-de-rosa, amarelas e verdes (Silva et al 2001). Pelo comportamento necrófago de suas larvas, os califorídeos têm potencial para serem utilizados em terapia larval, auxiliando na cicatrização de feridas necrosadas (Neves 2005) ou, eventualmente, em estudos de entomologia forense (Moura et al 1997).…”

-Monthly collections were made using two traps 5 m apart exposed for 48h, containing sardines and installed at points: A -at the edge (500 m from the entrance of the Reserve); B -1200 m from the entrance and 1000 m inside the forest; and C -1700 m from the entrance and 500 m inside the forest. The purpose was to evaluate the abundance and richness of calliphorid species as a function of the environmental conditions using Pearson's correlation, compare the richness of the areas using ANOVA and Tukey's test, compare the abundances of the areas by the Kruskal-Wallis test, and also assess the possible infl uence of the anthropic presence. Rare, intermediary and common species were identifi ed. The collection totalized 8515 Calliphoridae belonging to 26 species, with a predominance of females. None of the 13 species considered common presented a correlation between abundance and temperature: only Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) and Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) were correlated with humidity and only Mesembrinella semihyalina Mello with precipitation. This parameter was the only climatic variable correlated with richness. The greatest abundance and richness of calliphorids occurred in September 2006. From the 13 common species, seven were considered synanthropic, indicating the effect of anthropic action in this site.
