“…Sarcodexia lambens showed a strong attraction for fish and chicken viscera, in accordance to other studies where this species has been found in a large proportion in corpses (Barros et al 2008). However, it is an opportunistic species and it has been attracted by a variety of substrata, such as pig and human corpses (Oliveira-Costa et al 2001, Barros et al 2008, Barbosa et al 2009, and even causing myasis in humans (Queiroz de Leão et al 1996, Fernandes et al 2009) and frogs (Hagman et al 2005). Linhares (1981) reported Helicobia morionella (Aldrich, 1930) attracted by chicken viscera, mouse corpses and human faeces, showed the highest abundance in the latter; it also resulted in a synanthropic index that reveals a complete rejection for human settlements.…”

“…Peckia (Peckia) chrysostoma (Wiedemann, 1830), Tricharaea (Sarcophagula) occidua (Fabricius, 1794), O. bakeri and O. timida showed a strong preference for human settlements, having high synanthropic indexes (from 90 to 65). Tricharaea occidua was collected in chicken viscera, fish and human faeces in similar proportions, and therefore it could be considered a potential vector of human diseases, it has also been registered in previous studies as one of the most abundant species in corpses (Barros et al 2008). Peckia chrysostoma was mainly found in the urban area and being absent in forests; this coincides with observations in Rio de Janeiro, where it was commonly found inside houses, SI=60.97 (D'Almeida 1984), while in Belo Horizonte it was more common in uninhabited areas, SI=-32.4 (Dias et al 1984) and in Campinas it showed independence of human settlements, SI=13.90 (Linhares 1981).…”

“…This species revealed a necrophagous behavior, also evidenced in Rio de Janeiro and Campinas, in a similar way (Linhares 1981, D'Almeida 1984. It has been collected in decomposing fish (Leandro et al 2005), pig corpses (Barros et al 2008, Barbosa et al 2009) and human corpses (Oliveira-Costa et al 2001) in Brazil, where is of great forensic importance.…”

Sinantropía de Sarcophagidae (Diptera) en La Pintada, Antioquia-Colombia. Recently, populations of flies have increased in numbers given the elevated levels of organic matter waste produced by anthropic activities and domestication of animals. Such increase represents a worldwide health concern, since flies can be vectors of human diseases. The great variety of feeding and developmental habits of flies of the family Sarcophagidae taking place on animal corpses, feces and decomposed organic matter make them potential vectors of pathogens. Herein, we evaluated the synanthropic index (SI), as well as other ecological aspects of this family, through simultaneous monthly samplings in three areas with different degrees of human disturbance (urban, rural and forest). Each area had four van Someren Rydon traps, each one with a different bait (i.e., human feces, chicken viscera, fish and decomposing onion). Traps were active during 48 hours each month, and specimen collection was made every 12 hours. A total of 7 446 Sarcophagidae individuals were collected (1 275 males and 6 171 females), belonging to 27 species and nine genera. Tricharaea (Sarcophagula) canuta (SI=+96.67), Oxysarcodexia taitensis (SI=+93.85), Peckia (Peckia) chrysostoma (SI=+90.00) and Tricharaea (Sarcophagula) occidua (SI=+88.76) exhibited the highest values of synanthropy index, revealing a strong preference for human settlements. The most abundant species were Oxysarcodexia conclausa (21.80%), Ravinia effrenata (18.67%), Oxysarcodexia bakeri (11.45%) and Oxysarcodexia taitensis (10.20%), all of which exhibited preference for urban environments. Additionally, we are reporting seven new records of Sarcophagid flies for Colombia: Oxysarcodexia angrensis, Oxysarcodexia bakeri, Oxysarcodexia diana, Oxysarcodexia similata, Oxysarcodexia timida, Peckia (Peckia) pexata and Titanogrypa (Cucullomyia) placida.

Sarcophaga (Liosarcophaga) tibialis Macquart 1851 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae): micromorphology of preimaginal stages of a fly of medical and veterinary interest

Sarcophagids are a large family of Diptera, with a worldwide distribution. They are related to decomposing organic matter and are very interesting for health science and in forensic cases since many species produce myiasis and occur in human corpses. This family is considered difficult to study, particularly with regard to their immature stages, to which little attention has been paid. Genus Sarcophaga Meigen, 1826 is composed of species of very similar morphology, making very difficult to distinguish. Knowledge of the immature stages of this genus is important because such stages occupy the greater part of the life cycle, so that establishing a basis for their identification will increase their usefulness in systematic and applied sciences. This contribution presents a detailed study of the morphological features, both external and internal, of the preimaginal stages of Sarcophaga (Liosarcophaga) tibialis Macquart, 1851, providing a taxonomical context for the correct identification of Liosarcophaga species of forensic interest in the Iberian Peninsula. Both light and scanning electron microscopy were applied. Complete descriptions of every stage are provided and illustrated, and their usefulness for species comparison, taking into account our uneven knowledge of morphologically immature stages of this subgenus, is indicated. Features of the cephalopharyngeal skeleton, such as the shape of the mouth hook and the intermediate and basal sclerites, and external morphology, such as the pattern of spinose band and anterior and posterior spiracles, proved useful for separating species. Finally, tentative identification keys based on light microscopy observation to distinguish S. (L.) tibialis from other species of forensic interest belonging to Liosarcophaga subgenus are proposed for every immature stage.
