“…Although the morphological differences between both taxa are minor, H. exigua differs from H. irritans by the presence of 4 to 6 distinctive long hairs with curled tips on the segments of the male’s hind tarsus 13 . In addition, previous studies elsewhere have provided genetic 5–7 and chemotaxonomic 14 evidence to support their recognition as separate species, rather than as subspecies. Our present DNA-based species delimitation based on PTP and GMYC analyses unambiguously recognized H. irritans as a distinct OTU, further supporting its full species status.…”

Uncovering the hidden diversity and evolutionary history of arthropods of medico-veterinary importance could have significant implications for vector-borne disease control and epidemiological intervention. The buffalo fly Haematobia exigua is an obligate bloodsucking ectoparasite of livestock. As an initial step towards understanding its population structures and biogeographic patterns, we characterized partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and cytochrome b (Cytb) sequences of H. exigua from three distinct geographic regions in Southeast Asia. We detected two distinct mitochondrial haplogroups of H. exigua in our surveyed geographic regions. Haplogroup I is widespread in the Southeast Asian mainland whereas haplogroup II is generally restricted to the type population Java Island. Both haplogroups were detected co-occurring on Borneo Island. Additionally, both haplogroups have undergone contrasting evolutionary histories, with haplogroup I exhibited a high level of mitochondrial diversity indicating a population expansion during the Pleistocene era dating back to 98,000 years ago. However, haplogroup II presented a low level of mitochondrial diversity which argues against the hypothesis of recent demographic expansion.

“…C. vomitoria [29] had monomethyl and n -alkanes as the most abundant CHCs of the profiles. The buffalo fly Haematobia exigua and the horn fly Haematobia irritans [35] had n -alkanes and monoenes as major compounds. Moore et al [24], however, detected that larvae of Lucilia sericata (Diptera, Calliphoridae) had more n -alkanes than the other classes of CHCs.…”

A species-specific complex mixture of highly stable cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) covers the external surface of all insects. Components can be readily analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to obtain a cuticular hydrocarbon profile, which may be used as an additional tool for the taxonomic differentiation of insect species and also for the determination of the age and sex of adult and immature forms. We used GC-MS to identify and quantify the CHCs of female and male Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1818) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) from one to five days old. CHCs ranged from C21 to C35 for females and from C21 to C37 in males. Major compounds were the same for both sexes and were 2-MeC28, C29:1, n-C29, 15-,13-MeC29, 2-MeC30, C31:1, n-C31 and 15-,13-MeC31. The relative abundance of each component, however, varied with age. Cluster Analysis using Bray-Curtis measure for abundance showed that cuticular hydrocarbon profiles are a strong and useful tool for the determination of age in adult C. putoria.

“…Consequently, H. irritans and H. exigua have separated geographically, adapting to di#erent climates and hosts. Urech et al (2005) showed that there are di#erences in cuticular hydrocarbon composition of between H. irritans and H. exigua. These data supported their recognition as separate species rather than as subspecies.…”

Molecular analysis based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence was performed to elucidate the genetic di#erence between Haematobia irritans (Linnaeus) and H. exigua (de Meijere), and the phylogenetic relationship among Japanese Stomoxyini species (Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus), S. indicus Picard, S. uruma Shinonaga et Kano, and Haematobosca sanguinolenta (Austen) including Haematobia). Two populations obtained from Obihiro and Morioka which were morphologically identified as H. irritans were genetically identical. Two populations obtained from Taiwan and Vietnam which were morphologically identified as H. exigua were almost genetically identical, but there was a small divergence (0.3῍0.4῎) between them. Nucleotide sequence divergences between H. irritans from Obihiro-Morioka and H. exigua from Taiwan-Vietnam were 1.8῍1.9῎, and those between Haematobia and other separate species of Stomoxys and Haematobosca were 6.7῍10.9῎. In cluster analysis based on mtDNA, Haematobia species were close to Haematobosca sanguinolenta. S. calcitrans and S. uruma were closely related to each other, and S. indicus was distantly related to these two species. We discussed the status of H. irritans and H. exigua based on mtDNA, and the discrepancies of molecular phylogeny versus the previous hypotheses based on morphological criteria in Japanese Stomoxyini.
