“…Phylogenetic tree shows two clades, clade 1 consists of Reinwardtiini (Muscina genus) and Mydaeinae (Graphomya genus), which was corresponding to Kutty et al (2014) research (Kutty et al 2014). The clade 2 consists of Muscinae (Stomoxyiniþ Muscini), the topological structure was congruent with the previous studies (Kutty et al 2014;Haseyama et al 2015).…”

Graphomya rufitibia (Diptera: Muscidae) was distributed worldwide. In this study, the complete mitogenome of G. rufitibia was sequenced and annotated, and the full-length was a 15,374 bp fragment, consisting of A (40.64%), G (8.96%), T (36.80%), and C (13.59%). The mitogenome is composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. Most PCGs used the canonical putative codon to start and stop, 21 tRNAs are folded into the classic clover-leaf structure, with the one exception of tRNA-Ser (AGN). A total length of 11,182 bp encoding 3727 amino acids, and account for 72.7% of the whole mitogenome. Phylogenetic analyses showed that G. rufitibia belongs to family Mydaeinae.

“…This polyphagous status is unfavourable for the HHSP. The wider subfamily Muscinae also rely on decaying plant matter, including dung, to complete their development, with few specific associations between Muscidae and other organisms (Haseyama et al, 2015). So, it is not surprising that we did not find for the HHSP in S. calcitrans.…”

1. Hopkins' host selection principle (HHSP) proposes that, in holometabolous insects, gravid females prefer to oviposit on their developmental substrate. This hypothesis is widely explored in phytophagous insects, but few studies have considered blood-feeding insects. In this study, the HHSP was tested using the haematophagous stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae). Using no-choice and two-choice tests, the study first sought to demonstrate whether S. calcitrans larvae recognise their rearing substrate.2. It was found that when a rearing substrate is offered to S. calcitrans larvae singly (no-choice) or associated with a non-rearing substrate (two-choice), they were able to recognise the substrate in which they developed. This ability disappeared when larvae were transferred to another substrate for 5 h.3. Next, using oviposition bioassays, it was investigated whether information gathered by pre-imaginal stages during their development can persist into the adult stages after metamorphosis. It was hypothesised that gravid females emerging from clean and uncleaned pupae reared on sheep and camel dung would still prefer to lay on their rearing substrate. The results revealed that gravid females did not prefer to oviposit on their developmental substrate. In addition, failure to recognise and prefer their developmental substrate was found in gravid females that had emerged from puparia that were cleaned as well as those contaminated with sheep dung.4. It is concluded that S. calcitrans adult preference is not influenced by their offspring's experience. Overall, the HHSP was not supported by our study, suggesting that this principle may not apply to generalist insects characterised by high plasticity in oviposition substrate acceptance.

“…These non-regular elements of carrion fauna in most cases were properly identified in our analysis. Misidentifications were observed only within Helina and Phaonia , which are considered as closely related genera (Kutty et al 2014; Haseyama et al 2015). If reported, Helina and Phaonia were represented by single or very few specimens, and none of them has been considered a regular element of carrion fauna (Grzywacz et al 2017).…”

Identification of Muscidae (Diptera) of medico-legal importance by means of wing measurements

2017

Cadavers attract numerous species and genera of Muscidae, both regular elements of carrion insect assemblages, and accidental visitors. Identification of adult Muscidae may be considered difficult, particularly by non-experts. Since species identification is a vital first step in the analysis of entomological material in any forensic entomology orientated experiment and real cases, various alternative methods of species identification have been proposed. We investigated possibility of semiautomated identification by means of wing measurements as an alternative for classic morphology and DNA-based approaches. We examined genus-level identification success for 790 specimens representing 13 genera of the most common European cadavers visiting Muscidae. We found 99.8% of examined specimens correctly identified to the genus-level. Without error, the following were identified: Azelia, Eudasyphora, Graphomya, Hydrotaea, Musca, Muscina, Mydaea, Neomyia, Polietes, Stomoxys and Thricops. Genus-level misidentifications were found only in Helina and Phaonia. Discrimination of examined material on the species level within Hydrotaea (318 specimens representing eight species) and Muscina (163 specimens representing four species) showed lower, yet still high average identification success, 97.2 and 98.8%, respectively. Our results revealed relatively high success in both genus and species identification of Muscidae of medico-legal importance. Semiautomated identification by means of wing measurements can be used by non-experts and does not require sophisticated equipment. This method will facilitate the identification of forensically relevant muscids in comparison to more difficult and more time-consuming identification approaches based on taxonomic keys or DNA-based methods. However, for unambiguous identification of some taxa, we recommend complementary use of identification keys.
