Surface ultrastructure of prestomal teeth of some flies in the families Calliphoridae, Muscidae and Sarcophagidae
Prestomal teeth of flies in the families Calliphoridae (Chrysomya pinguis, Chrysomya villeneuvi, and Chrysomya chani), Muscidae (Hydrotaea (= Ophyra) chalcogaster) and Sarcophagidae (Boettcherisca peregrina) were presented using scanning electron microscopy. The slight to deep bifurcation of the tip...

| Summary: | Prestomal teeth of flies in the families Calliphoridae (Chrysomya pinguis, Chrysomya villeneuvi, and Chrysomya chani), Muscidae (Hydrotaea (= Ophyra) chalcogaster) and Sarcophagidae (Boettcherisca peregrina) were presented using scanning electron microscopy. The slight to deep bifurcation of the tips of their teeth were similarly observed in all species examined. The anatomical feature of prestomal teeth of the flies examined may contribute to the understanding of their feeding behavior and the medical importance of their role in the future. © Springer-Verlag 2005. |
