“…Currently, the musculature of the male terminalia has only been studied in a few members of the muscoid grade, in particular in two species of Anthomyiidae [35], one species of Scathophagidae [33] and 16 species of Muscidae [32,[36][37][38][39]. Although only a few members of this superfamily have been studied, tendencies in the reduction of the pregenital segments and musculature, as well as of the phallapodeme muscles, have been revealed in the evolution of this grade.…”

“…The homologies of the pregenital sclerites in members of different subfamilies of the Muscidae, in particular the nature of tergite VI, sternites VI and VII, syntergosternite VII + VIII and of the hypandrial appendages, were confirmed by analysis of the muscle connections. A different set of muscles has been detected within the Muscidae at the subfamily level [36][37][38][39].…”

The abdominal and pregenital segments and the genitalia were studied in males of Fannia subpellucens (Zetterstedt, 1845), Fannia canicularis (Linnaeus, 1761) and Fannia incisurata (Zetterstedt, 1838). In comparison with the remaining members of the muscoid grade, in addition to the symmetry of the pregenital segments, significant reductions of the sclerites and musculature of the male terminalia have been observed in Fanniidae. The muscular structure of pregenital segments confirms that the fused pregenital ring is syntergosternite VI + VII + VIII. Symmetry and fusion, as well as the lower number of the sclerites and muscles of the pregenital segments and male genitalia of the Fanniidae, can be considered apomorphic character states. The presence of the lateral bacilliform sclerite, as well as the presence and position of the epandrial muscles M 26, three pairs of muscles M 19 and paired muscles M 18, can be considered as a plesiomorphic character state of the Fanniidae. The structure of the sclerites and muscles of the male abdominal segments and terminalia place the Fanniidae at the base of the muscoid grade and Oestroidea, as has been confirmed by recent molecular studies.

“…In our previous studies we used the characteristic features of the musculature to clarify the homologies of some male pregenital sclerites in the Muscidae. The homologies of the pregenital sclerites in members of different subfamilies of the Muscidae, in particular the nature of tergite VI, sternites VI and VII, syntergosternite VII + VIII, and of the hypandrial appendages, was confirmed by analysis of the muscle connections (Ovtshinnikova et al 2018(Ovtshinnikova et al , 2019. It was confirmed that syntergosternite VII + VIII in the Muscidae consists of tergites VII and VIII, and at least part of sternite VIII.…”

“…In our earlier papers on the study of muscles in the subfamilies Muscinae and Mydaeinae, we suggested that the features of the genital musculature in Scathophagidae were basal (plesiomorphic) (Ovtshinnikova et al 2018(Ovtshinnikova et al , 2019. In these papers, the reduction tendencies in the structure of the sclerites and the genital and pregenital musculature in the Muscinae as compared with the Mydaeinae, basically the pregenital sclerites and phallapodeme, were also found.…”

The male genital and pregenital skeleton and musculature were studied in males of the following species of the Muscidae subfamily Azeliinae: Drymeia firthiana (Huckett, 1965), Drymeia longiseta Sorokina & Pont, 2015, Drymeia segnis (Holmgren, 1883), Thricops nigritellus (Zetterstedt, 1838), Thricops hirtulus (Zetterstedt, 1838), Hydrotaea dentipes (Fabricius, 1805), Muscina stabulans (Fallén, 1817), and Muscina levida (Harris, 1780). Descriptions and figures of the genital sclerites and muscles of D. firthiana and M. stabulans are given. A comparison was made between the genital segments and muscles of previously studied species of Mydaeinae and Muscinae and those of the Azeliinae. Based on the structure of the skeleton and muscles of syntergosternite VII + VIII and the phallapodeme muscles, significant differences were found between the subfamily Azeliinae and the subfamilies Mydaeinae and Muscinae. The basal position of the Azeliinae within the family Muscidae was confirmed. A comparison of the genital segments and muscles of the Muscidae with those of the Scathophagidae (Scathophaga stercoraria (Linnaeus, 1758)) and Anthomyiidae (Delia platura (Meigen, 1826)) was made. Tendencies in reduction of the pregenital segments and musculature, as well as of the phallapodeme muscles in the evolution of the Muscoidea have been revealed. The complete set of phallapodeme muscles in the Scathophagidae and Anthomyiidae corresponds to the basal state, and therefore the structure of the genital sclerites and muscles in the Muscidae shows a certain degree of reduction. The progressive changes in the Muscidae from the Azeliinae through the Mydaeinae to the Muscinae were traced.
