“…We selected a total of 36 specimens comprising three species that were of potential forensic importance (Carvalho et al, 2000;Barbosa et al, 2009;Barbosa et al, 2010;Oliveira and Vasconcelos, 2010), namely: O. fluminensis, P. intermutans, and P. chrysostoma. To determine possible haplotype variations of the population, these species were sampled at three sites in the City of Rio de Janeiro.…”

“…Flies of the Calliphoridae family should be considered for the calculation of the post-mortem interval (PMI) (Vanlaerhoven 2008). In particular, Chrysomya species should be considered because they are the fi rst invaders of carcasses, playing an important role in the sciences (El-bar and Sawaby 2011, Oliveira-Costa 2011, Oliveira and Vasconcelos 2010. Ignoring toxicological analyses when calculating PMI can lead to erroneous estimates because certain substances ingested before death can alter the rate of development of some species of fl ies that feed on cadaver tissues (Gosselin et al 2011).…”

Here we evaluate the effects of different concentrations of the antibiotic ampicillin on the growth and development of Chrysomya putoria. Third-generation, fi rst instar larvae (L1) reared on 60 grams of homogenate+agar 65% were treated with ampicillin sodium. The experiment consisted of four replicates (40 larvae/replicate) of each antibiotic concentration tested (T1: 466μg/mL ; T2: 81.33 mg/mL and T3: 166.66mg/mL) and a T4: control. The body mass of the mature larvae, after they abandoned the diet, were recorded in batches of fi ve. The variation between the mean body mass of larvae and the duration of larval and pupal stages, and overall duration of the development, viability and normal rates were analyzed by ANOVA. There were no signifi cant differences between the four treatments in the following parameters: body mass of larvae that discontinued the diet as well as the duration of larval, pupal, and total development. The sex ratios found in the four treatments did not differ from those expected. Normality rates were 100% for all treatments. There were no signifi cant differences between treatments for larval and overall viability, but pupal viability differed signifi cantly between T1 and the control, T1 and T2, and between the control and T3. The antibiotic did not appear to signifi cantly alter the development of C. putoria.

“…Es posible calcular el mínimo del intervalo post mortem (IPM) de un cuerpo en descomposición según el estado de desarrollo de los insectos que hayan sido encontrados en el lugar de los hechos (CATTS & GOFF, 1992;BYRD & CASTNER, 2001); es por esto que pueden aportar información para resolver casos médico-legales (AMENDT et al, 2004;YUSSEFF, 2006). Una de las familias de moscas más frecuentes en la entomología forense, es Muscidae, especímenes inmaduros y adultos se encuentran comúnmente en las diferentes etapas de la descomposición cadavérica (GREENBERG, 1991;OLIVEIRA & VASCONCELOS, 2010), y algunas de sus especies pueden ser utilizadas en el cálculo del IPM (CARVALHO et al, 2000;BYRD & CASTNER, 2001;GRISALES et al, 2010;OLIVEIRA & VASCONCELOS, 2010).…”

resumenLa entomología forense utiliza la biología y ecología de los insectos en casos médico-legales. Para su adecuada aplicación en este contexto, es necesario hacer una correcta identificación taxonómica de los especímenes relacionados con un caso en cualquier estado de desarrollo que se hayan encontrado. Frecuentemente en esta área se obtienen muestras incompletas o deterioradas de los adultos, dificultando su identificación. Una de las familias comúnmente encontrada en el contexto forense es Muscidae. El objetivo de este estudio es describir e ilustrar las características morfológicas de los genitales de machos adultos de Biopyrellia bipuncta (Wiedemann, 1830), Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 y Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp, 1883), especies con importancia forense en Colombia. Se describen e ilustran caracteres genitales masculinos claves para la identificación morfológica: esternito V, la placa cercal, el surstilo y el aedeago. Adicionalmente, se proporcionan diagnosis complementarias de características morfológicas externas. Palabras clave: entomología forense, identificación, M. domestica, B. bipuncta, S. nudiseta.

For a precise application in this context, it is necessary to make a correct taxonomic identification in any developmental stage of the specimens related to a case. Incomplete or damaged samples of adults are often obtained from the case scene, making taxonomical identification unlikely. Muscidae is one of the families commonly found in the forensic context. The objective of this study is to describe and to illustrate the morphological characteristics of the adult male genitalia of Biopyrellia bipuncta (Wiedemann, 1830), Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 and Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp, 1883), species with forensic importance in Colombia. Male genitalia structures like V sternite, the cercal plate, the surstyli and aedeagus are described and illustrated. Additionally complementary diagnosis of external morphological characteristics are provided.
