“…Lipoptilocnema misella was only identified in the Brazilian states of Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, and Minas Gerais (Mulieri et al 2016, Sousa et al 2016. Because this species, like many others in the same genus, is associated with Cerrado areas (Mulieri et al 2016), it is absent in forensic studies and lists of scavenger flesh flies in the Amazon (Vairo et al 2014, Ramos-Pastrana et al 2018.…”

Flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) have been found in a wide range of natural and anthropogenic environments, from forests to deserts. The state of Maranhão, located in Northeastern Brazil, has a diverse phytogeography, but few faunistic studies have been conducted in this area. Therefore, the objective of this study was to inventory species of Sarcophagidae and compare abundance patterns between the Cerrado (savanna-like vegetation) and riparian forests in the municipality of Codó, state of Maranhão. Twelve sampling events were carried out from the second half of 2015 to the first half of 2017. This resulted in 3,220 specimens, 27.15% of which were males, from nine genera and 27 species. A total of 491 specimens (16 species) were collected in the Cerrado, and 383 specimens (21 species) in the riparian forest. Peckia (Sarcodexia) lambens (Wiedemann) was the most abundant species (56,18% of the specimens sampled), followed by Peckia (Peckia) pexata (Wulp) (13%); Peckia (Euboettcheria) collusor (Curran & Walley) (13%), and Peckia (Peckia) chrysostoma Wiedemann (10%). Only P. (E.) collusor was found in greater abundance in the Cerrado. Oxysarcodexia angrensis (Lopes), Peckia (Peckia) enderleini (Engel), and Retrocitomiya andina Lopes are all new records to Maranhão and the entire Northeast Region of Brazil. Titanogrypa (Cuculomyia) albuquerquei (Lopes) is also a new to Maranhão.

Even in a forensic entomology framework, where females play a major role, female flesh flies are usually not identified. In order to fill this gap in Southern Brazil fauna we provide detailed descriptions and key for the female of nine species included in four genera: Microcerella halli (Engel), Oxysarcodexia paulistanensis (Mattos), Oxysarcodexia riograndensis (Lopes), Peckia (Euboettcheria) australis (Townsend), Peckia (Euboettcheria) florencioi (Prado and Fonseca), Peckia (Pattonella) intermutans (Walker), Peckia (Pattonella) resona (Lopes), Peckia (Sarcodexia) lambens (Wiedemann), and Sarcophaga (Bercaea) africa (Wiedemann). These species are distinguished mainly by genital characters as tergite 6 divided or undivided, presence of tergite 8, spermatheca morphology and vaginal plate shape.

Collections carried out for a period of 10 weeks from October to December 2013 in two fragments of Cerrado (experimental farm of Embrapa Gado de Corte and Private Reserve of Natural Heritage belong to the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (RPPN-UFMS)) located in the municipality of Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Midwestern Brazil, with traps baited with decomposing beef liver, and collections conducted for a period of 15 days in January 2014 in the RPPN-UFMS, using Shannon traps baited with dog corpses, resulted in 32 flesh fly species of eight genera, with the first record of the genus Blaesoxipha and 15 new species records to Mato Grosso do Sul.
