“…This finding parallels previous results indicating that S. indicus can be distinguished by the adult external morphology (yellowish colour of tibiae and tarsi) (Tumrasvin and Shinonaga 1978). Additionally, the phylogenetic relationship based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) showed that S. pullus and S. uruma have a closer genetic relationship than either has with S. indicus (T.C.…”

“…They are classified into the subfamily Muscinae, tribes Stomoxyini, with 18 species having been described (Zumpt 1973). In Thailand, 6 species of Stomoxys, namely Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus, 1758), S. sitiens Rondani, 1873, S. bengalensis Picard, 1908, S. indicus Picard, 1908, S. pullus Austen, 1909and S. uruma Shinonaga et Kano, 1966, have been recorded from different geographical areas (Tumrasvin and Shinonaga 1978, Masmeatathip et al 2006, Muenworn et al 2010Changbunjong et al 2012).…”

“…According to Tumrasvin and Shinonaga (1978), S. pullus can be distinguished from S. uruma and S. indicus by the length of maxillary palpi exceeding the fore margin of the mouth and the different colour at the basal part of the third antennal segment. Stomoxys indicus can be distinguished from S. uruma by the yellowish colour of tibiae and tarsi (Figs.…”

Adult flies of the genus Stomoxys Geoffroy, 1762 (Diptera: Muscidae), especially S. pullus Austen, 1909, S. uruma Shinonaga et Kano, 1966 and S. indicus Picard, 1908, are morphologically similar and sometimes difficult to distinguish when using external morphological characteristics. These species may act as vectors and/or potential vectors of many pathogens (virus, bacteria and protozoa). Their correct identification is important to target the vectors involved in the transmission of the pathogens and also helps in the fly control program.The aim of the present study was to distinguish three species which are difficult to separate using traditional diagnostic characters for species of Stomoxys such as colour patterns and body proportions. Modern morphometrics, both landmark and outline-based, was used to access wing geometry of S. pullus, S. uruma and S. indicus. A total of 198 and 190 wing pictures were analysed for landmark-and outline-based approaches, respectively. Wing shape was able to separate species and sexes of the three Stomoxys flies with highly significant difference of Mahalanobis distances. The cross-validated classification scores ranged from 76% to 100% for landmark and 77% to 96% for outline-based morphometrics. The geometry of wing features appears to be a very useful, low-cost tool to distinguish among the vectors S. pullus, S. uruma and S. indicus.

“…Before identification, the flies were anesthetized by placing the cages in a refrigerator set at 4 °C for 15 min. The anesthetized flies were identified following the taxonomic keys 7,21 . M. domestica and C. megacephala were segregated into separate cages (30×30×30 cm) screened with black cloth.…”

SUMMARYThe effects of eucalyptol were evaluated against the house fly, Musca domestica L., and blow fly, Chrysomya megacephala (F.). The bioassay of adults, using topical application, indicated that M. domestica males were more susceptible than females, with the LD 50 being 118 and 177 µg/fly, respectively. A higher LD 50 of C. megacephala was obtained; 197 µg/fly for males and 221 µg/fly for females. Living flies of both species yielded a shorter life span after being treated with eucalyptol. The bioassay of larvae, using the dipping method on the third instar, showed that M. domestica was more susceptible than C. megacephala, with their LC 50 being 101 and 642 µg/µl, respectively. The emergence of adults, which had been treated with eucalyptol in larvae, decreased only in M. domestica. Having the volatile property, fumigation or impregnated paper test of eucalyptol or the efficacy of repellence or attractiveness merits further investigations to enhance bio-insecticidal efficacy.

The Calliphoridae (Blowflies) (Diptera: Oestroidea) are Not a Monophyletic Group,

To investigate the monophyly and phylogenetic relationships of the Calliphoridae (blowflies), 23 terminal monophyletic taxa within the Oestroidea and two outgroup taxa (Muscidae and Anthomyiidae) were scored for 45 adult and larval characters and subjected to analyses using parsimony. Search for trees of maximum total fit (using Pee-Wee) gave nine different trees for the possible values of the concavity constant, whereas search for minimum length trees under equal weights (using NONA and PAUP) gave two, different, trees. The preferred trees are those obtained from the maximum-fit searches since they are derived from a method that lowers the weight of characters showing within-terminal as well as within-tree homoplasy. The family Calliphoridae in various commonly used senses (excluding Oestridae s.lat.; including the Rhiniinae; excluding or including the Rhinoporidae; excluding or including Mystacinobia) does not appear to be a monophyletic group. It appears as such only in trees having a much lower total fit than the optimal trees (maximum fit approach) or only in a very small fraction of the numerous trees five or nine steps longer than the minimum length trees. The assemblage (Rhiniinae+Toxotarsinae+Chrysomyinae), sometimes assumed to be a natural taxon on account of common possession of a row of setae on the upper surface of the stem-vein, should likewise be rejected. A clade (Ameniini+Euphumosia+Phumosiinae+Mesembrinellinae+ Parameniini+Catapicephala) is possibly Gondwanian. A clade (Toxotarsinae+Chrysomyinae+Calliphorinae+ Luciliinae+Melanomyinae) contains all the sarcosaprophagous "blowflies". The group (Tachinidae+ Sarcophagidae) is possibly the monophyletic sister group of the Rhiniinae. Mystacinobia emerges from the analyses as the sister group of all other Oestroidea, and the family Axiniidae as the sister group of all the other non-mystacinobiine oestroids. Although Mystacinobia is a guano-feeder in all stages, the biology of the other basal oestroid taxa indicates that a reproductive association with living or dead invertebrates is the primitive oestroid pattern. Fossils having a bearing upon the estimation of the age of various oestroid clades are discussed. © 1997 The Willi Hennig Society INTRODUCTIONThe Calliphoridae (blowflies) are a rather heterogenous family of calyptrate flies encompassing about 1,000 species world-wide.
