Intra-puparial development of Lucilia eximia (Diptera, Calliphoridae)

Abstract: There are few studies about the intra-puparial development in Diptera, nonetheless its importance has been increased because several dipteran species are of forensic interest. Studies on the life cycles of flies often disregard the changes that occur inside the pupae. The objectives of this research were to analyze the intra-puparial development of Lucilia eximia, and to describe chronological and morphological changes that occur during this stage. Around 1.600 specimens were laboratory-reared. The pre-pupae w… Show more

“…The most promising techniques for aging such evidence consist of the qualitative morphological analyses of the intra-puparial forms of the flies [ 30 , 35 , 36 ]. Intra-puparial development has been documented for many forensically important species [ 35 , 65 , 78 , 170 , 171 , 172 , 173 , 174 , 175 ]. Although these techniques have obvious advantages (e.g., they cover most of the intra-puparial development, they are generally non-destructive, low-cost and they need a stereomicroscope only), they have also important disadvantages (e.g., they are qualitative in nature and therefore less accurate and they are also impractical due to the need to have an expert knowledge in the intra-puparial morphology) [ 82 ].…”

“…Studies on dipteran intra‐puparial development have predominantly focused on species of applied interest, for example, to determine the post‐mortem interval in forensic cases (e.g., Brown, Thorne, & Harvey, 2015), or to improve strategies of biological control against pests (e.g., Cepeda‐Palacios & Scholl, 2000). For this reason, most of the Diptera that have been studied are necrophagous such as Calliphoridae (Ramos‐Pastrana, Londono, & Wolff, 2017; Salazar‐Souza, Couri, & Aguiar, 2018), Sarcophagidae (Kanti‐Sinha & Mahato, 2016) or Stratiomyidae (Barros‐Cordeiro, Báo, & Pujol‐Luz, 2014; Li, Wang, & Wang, 2016), among others (see Denlinger & Žďárek, 1994).…”
