“…Sarcophaga (Liosarcophaga) dux Thomson (= exuberan Pandellé) is a flesh fly (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) species of medical importance in many parts of the world [1]. Geographically, this fly prevails in many part of the world including, but not limited to, southern Europe [France] [2]; Oriental region [e.g., Thailand [3], Malaysia [4], India [5], Nepal [6], Saudi Arabia [7], Egypt [8], Myanmar, Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, China [6]; Australia; and Hawaii, USA [6].…”

This species is of medical importance as a myiasis-producing agent [9] as well as forensics as it is known to colonize decomposing human remains [1]. This paper reviews its adult morphology, bionomics and medical involvement.…”

“…Flesh flies also have acknowledged medical, veterinary and forensic importance (e.g. Sukontason et al 2007, Cherix et al 2012, Fremdt and Amendt 2014, but little is known about their biology in southern Africa (Zumpt 1965, 1972, Aspoas 1991, Villet et al 2006, so that such forensic evidence requires validation before it can be deployed in practice.…”

“…Worldwide only a handful of cases have reported the insect fauna associated with decomposition of hanged corpses and carcasses [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The majority of these cases have focused on the use of insects for the estimation of the time of death.…”
