Tel: +34 946015543 — [email protected] Abstract: Myiasis, understood as the infestation of living vertebrate tissues by dipteran larvae, is usually considered to be linked with tropical and subtropical areas. Nevertheless, it may occur all over the world, causing serious damage to the welfare and the economy of livestock and wild fauna. In Europe it is commonly caused by species of the families Oestridae, Sarcophagidae, Calliphoridae and Muscidae (Diptera), among others. This is the first recorded case of myiasis by Musca autumnalis De Geer, 1776 in cattle in the north of the Iberian Peninsula. An immature specimen was extracted from a cow and identified at the species level, using the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I barcode region (COI, 658 bp), as M.

Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Dept. Agriculture; 26 p. September 1997 Specimens representing 19 orders and 169 arthropod families (mostly insects) were collected from greenleaf manzanita brushfields in northeastern California and identified to species whenever possible. More than500 taxa below the family level wereinventoried, and each listing includes relative frequency of encounter, life stages collected, and dominant role in the greenleaf manzanita community. Specific host relationships are included for some predators and parasitoids. Herbivores, predators, and parasitoids comprised the majority (80 percent) of identified insects and related taxa.

Together with the families Anthomyiidae and Scathophagidae these constitute the superfamily Muscoidea. Overall statistics on recording activity are given by decade and hectad. Checklists are presented for each of the three Watsonian vice-counties 58, 59, and 60 detailing for each species the number of occurrences and the year of earliest and most recent record. A combined checklist showing distribution by the three vice-counties is also included, covering a total of 241 species, amounting to 68% of the current British checklist. Biodiversity metrics have been used to compare the pre-1970 and post-1970 data both in terms of the overall number of species and significant declines or increases in individual species. The Appendix reviews the national and regional conservation status of species is also discussed. Introduction manageable group for this latest regional review.

Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae 105(1): 103–121. – Muscidae collected in Afghanistan in the 1960s and deposited in the entomological collection of the Moravian Museum in Brno, Czechia, were identified in 2018 and 2019. In addition, a small number of other Muscidae were examined, either found in the Moravian Museum or in the collection of the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, Sofia, Bulgaria, which had been collected in the Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, North Korea, Russia and Uzbekistan. A study of the more than seven hundred specimens revealed 53 species belonging to 19 genera and five subfamilies of the family Muscidae. One of the species collected in Iran is new to the country and six genera and 21 species are new for Afghanistan. In addition, Dasyphora afghana, also collected in Afghanistan, is described as new to science. The 50 Muscidae species known to date from Afghanistan are compiled into a table. Key words. Asian countries, Palaearctic Region, Afghanistan, Muscidae, new records, new Dasyphora-species. Introduction Little is known of the muscid fauna of Afghanistan. A revision of the Palaearctic Muscidae (HENNIG 1964) contains very few references to Afghan locations, and the Catalogue of the Palaearctic Muscidae (PONT 1986) mentions only 24 species for the country.

The complete egg to adult life cycle takes about three weeks. When flies emerge, they mate and the females seek a protein source that is necessary for egg development. The face fly,Musca autumnalis (De Geer), is a robust fly Typically this protein source will be secretions from cattle and that closely resembles the house fly(Figure 1). Face flies are other animals. Both female and male face flies are strong flyers pasture flies and are not found in feedlots, dry lots or horse and can travel several miles to find a host and/or food source. stables.

Adult female face flies typically places such as attics of homes, barns and sheds.
