Morphology and identification of first instars of the European and Mediterranean blowflies of forensic importance. Part I: Chrysomyinae

Morphology and identification of first instars of the European and Mediterranean blowflies of forensic importance. Part I: Chrysomyinae

Light microscopy photographs, line illustrations and scanning electron micrographs are provided for first instars of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann), Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) and Protophormia terraenovae (Robineau-Desvoidy) (all: Diptera: Calliphoridae). The following morphological structure...

The following morphological structures are documented: pseudocephalon; antennal complex; maxillary palpus; facial mask; thoracic and abdominal spinulation; spiracular field; posterior spiracles, and cephaloskeleton. New diagnostic features of the cephaloskeleton and the spinulation of abdominal segments are described. Verification of earlier descriptions revealed major discrepancies among published data.
