Holotype male, female allotype, 29 male paratypes and 7 female paratypes in MNRJ. Diagnosis. Male. Length 7.0–9.0 mm. Postocular plate with golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles well developed. Thorax with golden pollinosity, contrasting with the silvery pollinosity of the abdomen; T5 normally without golden pollinosity, in a few cases a pale golden pollinosity can be present laterally. Two well-differentiated posterior and 1–3 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals. Apical scutellar bristles absent. Legs brownish. T3 with 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal and 3 pairs of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and with pilosity. Cercus straight in lateral view, with expanded obliquely cut apex and dorsal subapical barb. Cercus with bristles ventrally absent only on middle portion. Cerci with distal third as broad as middle part in posterior view; parallel and with a distinct constriction mid length. Pregonite and postgonite both with expanded base, gradually narrowing smoothly to apex; unicolorous. Distiphallus with smooth ventroapical margin, rounded apex and straight dorsal outline. Vesica symmetrical, with rounded median projection of main branch; distal lobes reduced, rounded, partially membranous, with spines on both dorsal and ventral surfaces. Remarks. A detailed comparison of the male terminalia of O. confusa and the sympatric species O. avuncula, O. diana and O. parva, with which it is frequently confused, was made by Silva & Mello-Patiu (2008). The distiphallus of O. confusa (Fig. 83) is very similar in lateral view to that of O. molitor (Curran & Walley, 1934) (Fig. 189), differing by the morphology of the median area, spinous in O. molitor (ventral view), and by the structure of the lateral and median styli (Lopes 1975c). The lateral stylus of O. confusa has a rounded base, short apex, and spines; and the median stylus is larger than the lateral one and has pilosity in its basal area (Silva & Mello-Patiu 2008). The lateral stylus of O. molitor is curved and larger than the median stylus (Lopes 1975c). See also remarks under O. comparilis. The female of O. confusa has an undivided T7 (Tibana & Mello 1985). The first, second and third larval instars were described by Lopes & Leite (1986), Leite & Lopes (1987), and Lopes & Leite (1987), respectively. Distribution. NEOTROPICAL. Argentina (Misiones), Brazil (Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, São Paulo). Biology. This species has been collected from human feces, chicken viscera, mouse, pig and fish carcasses, rotten squid, and rotten bananas mixed with yeast or brown sugar (Lopes 1973b; Dias et al. 1984c; Mendes & Linhares 1993; Vairo et al. 2014; Dufek et al. 2016). It has been reared from human feces under natural conditions; in the laboratory it has been reared on agar and powdered milk for 24h, then transferred to meat to complete development (Lopes 1973b). In a study on the synanthropy of flesh flies from Curitiba, Brazil, Ferreira (1979) collected O. confusa using a trap baited with fish, chicken liver and human feces, observing that this species was rarely associated with inhabited areas. Dufek et al. (2016) considered it to be hemi- and non-synanthropic in Argentinean wetlands. Type material examined. Holotype ♂: [Brazil] INS.OSW.CRUZ N.-10.802. / M. PEREIRA EST. RIO H. S.

Oxysarcodexia amorosa Det. H. S. Lopes
No full textOxysarcodexia amorosa (Schiner, 1868) (Figs 19–21) Sarcophaga amorosa Schiner, 1868: 314; Brazil. Holotype male in NMW (not examined). [Described from “Ein Männchen” (Schiner 1868: 314), and Aldrich (1930: 26) examined “One male undoubted type”.] Diagnosis. Male. Length 7.0–8.0 mm. Postocular plate with pale golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles weakly developed. Thorax and abdomen with golden pollinosity, which is more intense on T5; T5 partly with golden pollinosity. Two well-differentiated posterior and 1–3 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals. Apical scutellar bristles present. Legs brownish. T3 with 3 pairs of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal and 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and pilosity on arms. Cercus straight in lateral view, with expanded obliquely cut apex and dorsal subapical barb. Cercus with bristles ventrally over full length. Cerci with distal third narrower than middle part in posterior view; diverging. Pregonite with expanded base gradually narrowing to apex; unicolorous. Postgonite with expanded base and sudden narrowing at apex; unicolorous. Distiphallus with margin of ventroapical concavity smooth, rounded apex and straight dorsal outline. Vesica symmetrical, with lateral lobes and rounded median projection of main branch; distal lobes well developed, with filaments long, tapering, sclerotized, with spines on ventral surface. Remarks. Phenotypic variability in males from different populations has been reported in the literature for this species (Lopes 1973b). Oxysarcodexia amorosa is similar to O. inflata Lopes, 1975, especially in its color, and to O. similata Lopes & Tibana, 1987 and O. xanthosoma (Aldrich, 1916), differing in the shape of the distiphallus (mainly in the ventral and apical parts) and of the distal part of the vesica (Lopes 1975c; Lopes & Tibana 1987). The ventroapical concavity of the distiphallus in these four species is deepest in O. amorosa (Fig. 20) and least developed in O. similata (Fig. 249). In O. xanthosoma, the ventroapical margin of this concavity is narrower (Fig. 285) than in the other species. The apex of the distiphallus is serrated ventroapically in O. inflata (Fig. 146), and it is more sharp-angled in O. amorosa and O. inflata than in O. similata and O. xanthosoma (Figs 20, 146, 249, 285). The shape of the cercus and phallus of O. amorosa also present similarities to O. berlai and O. graminifolia sp. n. The main differences can be observed in the vesica, which in O. graminifolia sp. n. is more spinous and lacks the basal portion of the distal lobes found in the others (including O. similata and O. xanthosoma), and in the ventroapical area of the distiphallus, which lacks the cleft visible in lateral view in O. amorosa, O. similata and O. xanthosoma. Morphological variation of O. xanthosoma, especially in the shape of the distal part of the cercus and apical part of the distiphallus, but also in the intensity of the abdominal pollinosity, as pointed out by Lopes (1975c), may lead to confusion with O. amorosa. Lopes (1946b) pointed out that one of the differences between O. amorosa and O. xanthosoma is that the latter shows a curved cercus; however, in the material examined, specimens of both species presented a straight cercus in lateral view. The female of O. amorosa has T7 divided into two plates (Tibana & Mello 1985). Distribution. NEARCTIC. Mexico (San Luis Potosí, Sonora). NEOTROPICAL. Brazil (Amapá, Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Roraima, Santa Catarina, São Paulo), Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico (Jalisco), Panama, Peru. Biology. Oxysarcodexia amorosa has been reared from dog, felid and human feces (Lopes 1973b; D’Almeida 1994), an unspecified dead mammal (Dodge 1968), and fish heads and bones (Lopes 1973b). It has also been reared successfully in the laboratory (Lopes 1973b) and on dead shrimps under non-natural conditions (D’Almeida 1989). In the laboratory, larvae of this species matured in 3 days and adults emerged after 12 days using curdled milk as food, showing a preference for low humidity (Lopes 1973b). In a study of the bionomy of O. amorosa under laboratory conditions (27 ± 1°C, relative humidity 50 ± 10%, 12 h of photophase and ground beef as rearing substrate), the duration of the larval stage ranged from 3–6 days with 76% larval viability, the pupal stage lasted 9– 11 days with 88% viability, and the total time of development (from L1 to adults) was 12–16 days with 67% viability (Xavier et al. 2015). The species has been collected from feces of humans and other vertebrates, dead fish and crabs, other dead marine animals (e.g., sardines), rotten S. comosa, rotten banana mixed with brown sugar, fermented fruit, chicken viscera, chicken liver, rat and mouse carcasses, pig carcasses, rotten liver from a non-identified vertebrate, rotten beef lung, rotten bovine spleen, and dead squid (Lopes 1973b, 1975a; Mendes & Linhares 1993; Pamplona et al. 2000; Oliveira et al. 2002; Barbosa et al. 2009, Sousa et al. 2011; Rosa et al. 2011; Ramírez-Mora et al. 2012; Alves et al. 2014; Barbosa et al. 2014; Oliveira-Costa et al. 2014; Vairo et al. 2014; Barbosa et al. 2015; Xavier et al. 2015; Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016; Sousa et al. 2015, 2016; Vasconcelos et al. 2016; Barbosa et al. 2017; Valverde-Castro et al. 2017; Ernesto et al. 2018; Lopes et al. 2018; Leite-Júnior et al. 2019). It has been reported from Brazilian Caatinga (Alves et al. 2014; Vasconcelos et al. 2016; Ernesto et al. 2018), Cerrado (Rosa et al. 2011; Leite-Júnior et al. 2019), Amazon forest (Sousa et al. 2011), Atlantic forest (Lopes et al. 2018), humid tropical rainforest (Vairo et al. 2014), coastal habitat (Barbosa et al. 2015, 2017), insular lands (Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016), marshlands and mangrove areas (Sousa et al. 2016), urban areas (Mendes & Linhares 1993; Oliveira et al. 2002; Barbosa et al. 2009; Oliveira-Costa et al. 2014), areas of degraded vegetation (Pamplona et al. 2000), and in forest, urban and rural areas of Colombia (Ramírez-Mora et al. 2012; Valverde-Castro et al. 2017). Oxysarcodexia amorosa has been reported in association with the bloated stage of decomposition of an unburned pig carcasses and with the post-decay stage of a burned one (Oliveira-Costa et al. 2014). Lopes et al. (2018) reported O. amorosa as associated with the butyric fermentation and dry decay stages of decomposition of pig carcasses. In the Brazilian state of Maranhão, O. amorosa was classified as accidental and rare (Sousa et al. 2015). In Itamaracá, a continental island (Pernambuco state, Brazil), this species was similarly considered an accidental record, collected only in an area of low anthropogenic impact (Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016). Oxysarcodexia amorosa is considered useful for biomonitoring, revealing anthropogenic impacts due to its preference for modified habitats such as clearings (Sousa et al. 2014). Larvae of O. amorosa were involved in a case of auricular myiasis in São João de Meriti, Rio de Janeiro (Figueiredo et al. 2002). Material examined. [♂] Angra dos Reis; E. do Rio; Brasil / Det. H. S.

Oxysarcodexia insolita Lopes Det. H. S. Lopes 1946
No full textOxysarcodexia insolita Lopes, 1946 (Figs 151–153) Oxysarcodexia insolita Lopes, 1946b: 89; Guyana, Esequibo River, Moraballi Creek. Holotype male and female allotype in NHMUK (not examined). Diagnosis. Male. Length 11.0 mm. Postocular plate with pale golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles weakly developed. Thorax and abdomen with golden pollinosity, more evident laterally; T5 partly with golden pollinosity. Two welldifferentiated posterior and 1–3 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals. Apical scutellar bristles present. Legs brownish. T3 with 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal and 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and with pilosity and scattered bristles on arms. Cercus sinuous in lateral view, apex expanded and with straight margin. Cercus with bristles ventrally only in distal third. Cerci with distal third broader than middle part in posterior view; parallel and with a distinct constriction mid length. Pregonite with expanded base, gradually narrowing to apex, which is darker than base. Postgonite like pregonite, except unicolorous. Distiphallus with serrated ventroapical margin, rounded apex and straight dorsal outline. Vesica symmetrical, with rounded median projection of main branch; distal lobes well developed, with basal area more expanded than apical area; with filaments, tapering, sclerotized, with spines only on ventral surface. Remarks. Oxysarcodexia major Lopes, 1946b, considered a closely related species (Lopes 1946b), can be separated from O. insolita by the ventroapical surface of the distiphallus, which has a serrated margin in O. insolita (Fig. 152) and carries a small group of spines arranged in a line in O. major (Fig. 171). The vesica is elongate and presents spines on the ventral surface in both species, but in O. insolita it is spearhead-shaped with long spines, and the median area is U-shaped in lateral view; in O. major the vesica is shaped like a grass blade, with short spines and L-shaped median areas. Oxysarcodexia petropolitana Lopes, 1975c (Fig. 229) is similar to O. insolita (Fig. 152) and O. major (Fig. 171) (Lopes 1975c), but it differs from these species mainly in the shape of the distal lobes of the vesica (long filaments, sharply curved backwards and with expanded base in O. petropolitana; short filaments, slightly curved backwards and with expanded base in O. insolita; long filaments, slightly curved backwards and without expanded base in O. major), the distiphallus apex (serrated ventroapical margin in O. insolita and O. major, rounded in O. insolita and O. petropolitana, slightly conical in O. major), and the cercus (straight in lateral view in O. petropolitana and sinuous in O. insolita and O. major). The female of O. insolita has an undivided T7 (Tibana & Mello 1985). Distribution. NEOTROPICAL. Brazil (Pará), Ecuador *, Guyana, Mexico (Chiapas, Veracruz), Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad). Biology. Oxysarcodexia insolita has been reared in the laboratory on agar and powdered milk, developing from first instar to adult in 14–17 days. It has been bred from human feces under natural conditions (Lopes 1973b). Material examined. [♂] ECUADOR: Napo; Yasuní National Park; Yasuní Research Station; 76°36′W 00°38′S; 3–20 XI 1998: T.

No full textOxysarcodexia intona (Curran & Walley, 1934) (Figs 154–156) Sarcophaga intona Curran & Walley, 1934: 489; Guyana, Kartabo. Holotype male and female allotype in AMNH (not examined). Sarcophaga intonsa: Lopes (1969: 26), incorrect subsequent spelling of intona Curran & Walley, 1934. Diagnosis. Male. Length 8.0–9.0 mm. Postocular plate with golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles weakly developed. Thorax and abdomen with silvery pollinosity, T5 with golden pollinosity, although not along the entire extension. Two well-differentiated posterior and 1–3 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals.Apical scutellar bristles absent. Legs brownish. T4 with no median marginal and 3 pairs of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and with bristles at apex of arms. Cercus sinuous in lateral view, apex expanded and with concave margin. Cercus with bristles ventrally only in distal third. Cerci with distal third as broad as middle part in posterior view; diverging. Pregonite with expanded base and sudden narrowing at apex, which is darker than base. Postgonite like pregonite, except unicolorous. Distiphallus with a large membranous dorsoapical swelling, smooth ventroapical margin, ventroapical projections, lateral lobes, rounded apex and sinuous dorsal outline. Vesica symmetrical, with angular median projection of main branch; distal lobes reduced, with filaments, tapering, partially membranous, with spines on both dorsal and ventral surfaces. Remarks. See under O. aurata. The female of O. intona has T7 membranous (Tibana & Mello 1985). Distribution. NEOTROPICAL. Brazil (Amazonas, Amapá, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Pará, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro), Guyana. Biology. This species has been collected on pig, rat, and fish carcasses in the Brazilian Cerrado, rainforest environments, areas of degraded vegetation, sandy beaches, and urban and insular areas (Pamplona et al. 2000; Barbosa et al. 2009; Vasconcelos & Araujo 2012; Vasconcelos et al. 2013; Barbosa 2015; Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016; Barbosa et al. 2017; Carmo et al. 2017). It has also been collected in palm groves, marshland and mangrove areas (Sousa et al. 2016). Baits such as feces, banana mixed with brown sugar, rotten cow liver and lung, dead fish, sardine, chicken liver, and squid have been used in W.O.T., Shannon and “can/bottle” traps (Lopes 1975a; Pamplona et al. 2000; Oliveira et al. 2002; Barbosa 2015; Barbosa et al. 2015; Sousa et al. 2015; Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016; Sousa et al. 2016; Barbosa et al. 2017). Oxysarcodexia intona is considered an early visitor in forensic entomology (Vasconcelos et al. 2013). In the Brazilian state of Maranhão, albeit a dominant species, O. intona was classified as an intermediate species, according to its occurrence, due to its accessory status, and it was recorded only at 25% to 50% of the study sites (Sousa et al. 2015). In Itamaracá, a continental island (Pernambuco state, Brazil), O. intona was considered an accidental species, collected in areas of low, moderate and high anthropogenic impact (Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016). Barbosa et al. (2017) considered O. intona as showing a weak preference for modified beaches. Material examined. [♂] RIO DE JANEIRO, BRASIL / R. Tibana / NRM-DIPT 0014318 [NRM] // [♂] Guarapari, Esp.

Holotype male and five male paratypes in MNRJ; one male paratype in NMR. Diagnosis. Length 7.0–9.0 mm. Postocular plate with pale golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles smaller than upper frontal bristles. Thorax gray, sometimes yellowish gray, especially in humeral region. Two well-differentiated posterior and 2 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals; apical scutellar bristles absent. Legs blackish. Abdomen with mostly silvery pollinosity, but with golden pollinosity laterally on T4 and on entire extension of T5. T3 with 1 pair of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal and 1 pair of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and with pilosity and bristles at apex of arms. Cercus sinuous in lateral view, with curved, expanded, obliquely cut apex, darker than median and basal parts, and dorsal subapical barb. Cercus with ventral bristles absent only in middle portion. Cerci with distal third as broad as middle part in posterior view; diverging. Pregonite with expanded base and sudden narrowing at apex, which is darker. Postgonite like pregonite but unicolorous.
