“…Regarding the other dominant families in the carrion fly assemblages, female-biased captures were reported in Muscidae (Vogt et al 1985a; Patitucci et al 2010), but no significant differences in the age composition of the collected females were observed (Tyndale-Biscoe and Hughes 1969). In the case of Sarcophagidae, several studies showed a higher proportion of females captured by using different types of carrion-baited traps (Martínez-Sánchez et al 2000; Romera et al 2003).…”

“…The use of odor and carrion bait is a widely used practice in the study of sarcosaprophagous Diptera, and there is a large variety of effective carrion-baited trap designs (e.g., Vogt et al 1985a; Schoenly et al 1991; Hwang and Turner 2005; Baz et al 2007). However, the sampling of sarcosaprophagous flies with the use of carrion-baited traps could imply different areas of bias (Hwang and Turner 2005), which must be taken into account when analyzing the results of the captures.…”

The use of carrion-baited traps is a common and widely extended practice in the study of sarcosaprophagous Diptera. However, it implies different areas of bias, one of them being the different responses of males and females to carrion bait, which results in possible biased sex ratios in the captures. In the present study, the use of carrion-baited traps revealed significant female-biased captures in the families Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Sarcophagidae, whereas the collected species of the families Piophilidae, Heleomyzidae, and Ulidiidae showed different patterns in the observed sex ratios. Possible explanations according to existing literature and the types of mating behaviors of the different families are discussed.

“…Some of the specimens deposited in CEUA and IVIC were collected by the authors using (WOT)Wind Oriented Traps baited with fish and pig liver (see Vogt et al 1985). The classification used in the checklist follows Rognes (1986, 1991, 1997) and Marinho et al (2016).…”

A checklist of the 39 species of blow flies (Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae) so far known to occur in Venezuela is provided, based on a thorough literature review and the examination of ca. 500 specimens deposited in the main entomological collections of the country. Data from the literature and museum collections were used to generate distribution maps for 37 species. Three species are recorded from Venezuela for the first time: Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1830), Mesembrinella spicata Aldrich, 1925 and Mesembrinella umbrosa Aldrich, 1922.

We report results of a 2-yr study aimed at describing the natural history and mating behavior of Euxesta bilimeki (Hendel) (Diptera: Ulidiidae) a picture-winged fly species associated with Agave atrovirens Karw. ex Salm-Dyck (Agavaceae) in the Mexican altiplano. The study consisted of direct field observations and a year-long population survey in the field complemented with laboratory experiments and observations. E. bilimeki was found to be multivoltine, able to resist temperatures below freezing during winter, and it developed on rotting agave leaves in large larvalpupal aggregations. Adults fed on carbohydrate and protein sources found on the plant, where they could be sighted all year long. Courtship was based on a sequence of visual and tactile displays that could result in female rejection of courting males. Males constantly harassed females, who mated multiple times, but frequently expelled and consumed ejaculates after mating. We discuss hypotheses on the evolution of this rare behavior and highlight the value of performing descriptive studies on the natural history of poorly known taxonomic groups to foster understanding of the evolution of behavior.
