Morphology of puparia of Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae), a fly species of medical and forensic importance

Megaselia scalaris (Loew), a scuttle fly, is a fly species of medical and forensic importance. For use in forensic investigation, fly specimens found to associate with human corpses have to be identified at species level. Herein, we present the morphology of the puparia of the above fly species usin...
