The Sarcophaginae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) of Southern South America. I. The species of Microcerella Macquart from the Patagonian Region

Abstract: A revision is given of the species placed in the genus Microcerella Macquart, known from the southern extreme of South America, the so-called Patagonian Region. A new diagnosis of the genus is given on the basis of the revision of a large number of Neotropical species. A total of 25 valid species are recognized in the region. Most of these (21 species) are divided into four species-groups on the basis of general groundplan of genitalia and external characters. Four new species are described, M. deliae sp. nov.… Show more

“…The intermediate character state of the genus Microcerella consists of a hinge on the dorsal side of the phallus and a sclerotized, paler, rigid and tubular area on the ventral side of the phallus between basi-and distiphallus. This sclerotized, paler, rigid and tubular ventral area between basi-and distiphallus had been described before [51] but not analyzed in a broader phylogenetic context of the family. Such transitions in the degree of sclerotization in the morphological evolution of Sarcophagidae or for lineages within Miltogramminae or Paramacronychiinae have not been reported before.…”

This sclerotized, paler, rigid and tubular ventral area between basi-and distiphallus had been described before (48) but not analyzed in a broader phylogenetic context of the family. Such transitions in the degree of sclerotization have not been reported before in the morphological evolution of Sarcophagidae and it has not been reported for lineages within Miltogramminae or Paramacronychiinae.…”

“…The genus Microcerella Macquart is restricted to the Neotropical region and has 78 species distributed in South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela) (Pape, 1996;Mulieri et al, 2015). Microcerella species feed on decomposing animal matter, such as beef, chicken viscera, squid, snake, rat and pig carcasses, and also on human corpses (Madeira-Ott et al, 2022).…”
