The Muscidae (Diptera) from the Atlantic Forest of Serra de Paranapiacaba, sout...

A first survey of Muscidae in the State of São Paulo (Southeastern Brazil) is presented here with a one-year of Malaise trap collecting from August 2010 to July 2011 at the Biological Reserve Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba (23°46′00″-23°47′10″S, 46°18′20″-46°20′40″W, 750-891 m of altitude). A total of 1,284 individuals of muscids were collected, and 15 genera and 39 species of Muscidae were identified. So far, ...

Insects of forensic importance from Rio Grande do Sul state in southern Brazil

The experiment was conducted throughout the year 2005, at the Universidade Federal de Pelotas campus. The objectives of the study were to analyze the decomposition of rabbit (Oryctolagus cunniculus L.) with mean weight 2.67 Kg carcass and describe the interaction of insects acting on it, as well as the insect's potential use in legal medicine. We collected 5.239 insect specimens; 1.827 of them were obtained fro...

Rate of development of forensically-important Diptera in southern Brazil

Dipteran larvae were collected from rabbit (Oryctolagus cunniculus L.) carcasses during the four seasons in 2005 in the southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The larvae were fed ground beef at ambient temperatures following collection from carcasses. The development of each species under these conditions was estimated. The most abundant species in the carcasses were Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann) and Chr...

The effect of environment on development and survival of pupae of the necrophag...

Species of Ophyra Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 are found in decomposing bodies, usually in fresh, bloated and decay stages. Ophyra albuquerquei Lopes, for example, can be found in animal carcasses. The influence of environmental factors has not been evaluated in puparia of O. albuquerquei. Thus, the focus of this work was motivated by the need for models to predict the development of a necrophagous insect as a funct...

Survival and reproduction of Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Diptera, Muscidae)

The reproduction and survival of Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp, 1883) were studied between 22 and 28°C, 70% R.H. and 12h photoperiod. The raw data were analyzed based on age-class, sex life table, Weibull distribution and entropy curve (H). The intrinsic rate of increase (rm), finite rate of increase (λ), net reproduction rate (R0) and mean generation time (T) were 0.534, 1.7, 59.439 and 7.65 respectively, sugge...

Chave pictórica para os gêneros de Tabanidae (Insecta: Diptera) do bioma Campos...

Foram realizadas coletas de tabanídeos ao longo de quatro anos (2002-2006) no extremo sul do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Apresenta-se uma lista com 30 espécies, além de chave pictórica e diagnoses para identificação dos 15 gêneros encontrados na região. Nove espécies são registradas pela primeira vez no estado do Rio Grande do Sul.; Tabanids were collected and preserved along four years (2002-2006) in southern R...

Insects of forensic importance from Rio Grande do Sul state in southern Brazil

Durante todas as estações do ano de 2005 foi conduzido um experimento em uma área do campus da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a decomposição de carcaças de coelho (Oryctolagus cunniculus L.) pesando 2,67 Kg em média e descrever como os insetos atuam na decomposição e seu possível uso na medicina-legal. Foram coletados 5.239 espécimes; 1.827 foram obtidos a partir da criação d...

Thermal requirements of Aprostocetus hagenowii (Ratzeburg, 1852) (Hymenoptera, ...

This study aimed to determine the thermal requirements of Aprostocetus hagenowii in oothecae of Periplaneta americana, as well as the influence of different temperatures on the biology of this parasitoid. Oothecae with maximum age of eight days and weight ranging from 0.09 to 0.10 g were individualized in Petri plates with a couple of A. hagenowii, being exposed to parasitism. Parasitoids and oothecae stayed to...
