Pest watch: 4 June – 10 August 2015 Biosecurity is about managing risks: protecting New Zealand from exotic pests and diseases that could harm our natural resources and primary industries. MPI’s Investigation & Diagnostic Centres and Response (IDC & R) directorate devotes much of its time to ensuring that new organism records come to its attention, and to following up as appropriate. This information was collected from 4 June 2015 to 10 August 2015. The plant information is held in the MPI Plant Pest Information Network (PPIN) database. Wherever possible, common names have been included. Records in this format were previously published in the now discontinued magazine Biosecurity.

Complex Insect Fauna Found on Carcass in a Suicide Case in Taiwan

Abstract A male corpse was found in a park, located in an urban residential area in Taiwan. The insect data collected from this remain shows that there was an unusual insect fauna on the corpse for an outdoor case. There were three features for the entomology study in this forensic case. First, the fauna of the collected insects was more diverse than in other cases. Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart, 1842), Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Van Der Wulp, 1883), Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794), Sarcophaga dux (Thomson, 1869) and Fannia pusio (Wiedemann, 1830) were found on the corpse. The dominant species was S. nudiseta which is usually found on indoor human corpse. It was the first case of larvae of S. nudiseta and F. pusio found on outdoor human remains in Taiwan. Second, the Minimum Post-Mortem Interval (minPMI) was estimated to be about 10-14 days base on the develop- mental data of three species of fly, including S. nudiseta (pupae), C. megacephala (flies), S. dux (pupae). Third, fly artifacts were found on the body and clothes, and those tiny spots were thought to be blood splatter patterns, which puzzled the investigators and so they were not sure whther it was a suicide case.

Key to the Adults of the Most Common Forensic Species of Diptera in South America
390 Key to the adults of the most common forensic species ofCarvalho Diptera & Mello-Patiu in South America Claudio José Barros de Carvalho1 & Cátia Antunes de Mello-Patiu2 1Department of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Paraná, C.P. 19020, Curitiba-PR, 81.531–980, Brazil. [email protected] 2Department of Entomology, Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro-RJ, 20940–040, Brazil. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Key to the adults of the most common forensic species of Diptera in South America. Flies (Diptera, blow flies, house flies, flesh flies, horse flies, cattle flies, deer flies, midges and mosquitoes) are among the four megadiverse insect orders. Several species quickly colonize human cadavers and are potentially useful in forensic studies. One of the major problems with carrion fly identification is the lack of taxonomists or available keys that can identify even the most common species sometimes resulting in erroneous identification. Here we present a key to the adults of 12 families of Diptera whose species are found on carrion, including human corpses. Also, a summary for the most common families of forensic importance in South America, along with a key to the most common species of Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Fanniidae and to the genera of Sarcophagidae are provided. Drawings of the most important characters for identification are also included. KEYWORDS. Carrion flies; forensic entomology; neotropical. RESUMO. Chave de identificação para as espécies comuns de Diptera da América do Sul de interesse forense. Diptera (califorídeos, sarcofagídeos, motucas, moscas comuns e mosquitos) é a uma das quatro ordens megadiversas de insetos. Diversas espécies desta ordem podem rapidamente colonizar cadáveres humanos e são de utilidade potencial para estudos de entomologia forense.

The morphological homogeneity within the genus often makes species determination difficult.The best option for correct identification is to combine molecular and morphological analyses. The variation in the shape of a selection of body characters can be assessed by Geometric Morphometrics using the head as an innovative structure. Sex must be accounted for as a key covariate in this kind of study, since Fannia, as many other Diptera, has a sexually dimorphic head structure, with holoptic males and dicoptic females. Firstly, we analysed a set of Fannia sp.

Neotropical pseudoscorpions, mainly from the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, are known for their dispersal relationships with beetles and flies. Here, we report phoretic association among nymphs of Sphenochernes camponoti (Chernetidae) and Fannia flies (F. pusio, F. yenhedi, and F. canicularis) (Diptera, Fanniidae). Twelve flies, each carrying a young pseudoscorpion, were collected in Caatinga vegetation in Pernambuco State, Brazil.

The lesser house fly can withstand lower temperatures than the house fly and will be active during cooler months. Hosts Larvae of both the house fly and lesser house fly feed on animal dung and decaying vegetable matter. Public health concern Can be a nuisance to neighbors of poultry operations. Livestock concern Along with Fannia pusio, the chicken dung fly, the lesser house fly can be abundant at poultry facilities and where cattle are confined; this can result in nuisance complaints from neighbors.

Caixa Postal 19020, 81531-980 Curitiba, PR, Brazil. *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Fanniidae (Insecta: Diptera) is a relatively small family (ca. 350 spp.) with five genera, of which Fannia Robin- eau-Desvoidy, 1830 and Euryomma Stein, 1899 have Neotropical distributions. Some of these species are almost always found in forensic studies. Forensically relevant species have been neglected, despite recent forensic studies that suggest their importance for estimating post-mortem interval (PMI). Thus, current and updated keys to identify adults or larvae on carcasses are unavailable for the most important species. While immature stages are important in estimating PMI, evidence suggests that adults (Fanniidae as well as other families) may also be useful for this purpose. Here we provide a key to males of the species of Fanniidae (found on corpses and other decomposing organic matter) with a checklist of species that have been used in forensics in the Neotropical region. The key comprises all 38 species of Fannia and Euryomma that have already been successfully used in forensics, and species that are potentially useful for estimating PMI. These records were found after reviews of the literature and data from entomological collections.
