| morphology and identification of fly eggs: application in forensic entomology. | fly eggs found in corpses can be used as entomological evidence in forensic investigation. this study aims to investigate the morphology of forensically important fly eggs. eggs of chrysomya rufifacies, chrysomya megacephala, chrysomya pinguis, chrysomya nigripes, hypopygiopsis tumrasvini, lucilia cuprina, lucilia porphyrina and musca domestica were examined using 1% potassium permanganate solution for 1 min. morphometric analysis revealed that the mean length of hy. tumrasvini (1.63 mm) and c. ... | 2013 | 23959498 |
| ultrastructure of male genitalia of blow flies (diptera: calliphoridae) of forensic importance. | male genitalia of blow flies (diptera: calliphoridae) are distinctive in their morphological features and are often used for species identification. the aim of this work was to investigate the male genitalia of blow flies of medical and forensic importance from thailand at the ultrastructural level, using scanning electron microscopy (sem). flies in two subfamilies were examined: chrysomyinae [chrysomya bezziana villeneuve, chrysomya chani kurahashi, chrysomya nigripes aubertin, chrysomya pingui ... | 2017 | 29248415 |
| ontogenensis and developmental rate of the blow fly, hypopygiopsis tumrasvini kurahashi (diptera: calliphoridae). | blow flies of the genus hypopygiopsis are considered forensically important. in thailand, four hypopygiopsis species coexist, i.e., hypopygiopsis fumipennis, hypopygiopsis infumata, hypopygiopsis violacea and hypopygiopsis tumrasvini. in this study, the ontogeny and developmental rate of h. tumrasvini eggs, larvae and pupae were determined in the laboratory chamber reared at 25.0 ± 2.0°c and 80.0 ± 5.0% rh. larvae emerged from eggs 10-12 h after deposition. mean length of the first, second, thir ... | 2014 | 25776602 |
| surface ultrastrucure of larva and puparia of blow fly hypopygiopsis tumrasvini kurahashi (diptera: calliphoridae). | flies of the genus hypopygiopsis are forensically important, as their larvae are found to associate with human corpses. in this study, the ultrastructure of larvae and puparia of hypopygiopsis tumrasvini kurahashi is presented using scanning electron microscopy (sem). the larvae are vermiform-shaped, creamy white, and have a smooth integument. the pseudocephalon of larvae bears sensory structures, i.e., antenna, maxillary palpus, and ventral organ. two tufts of fresh outgrowths (or cerri) were o ... | 2012 | 22895571 |
| morphological descriptions for the identification of hypopygiopsis tumrasvini kurahashi (diptera: calliphoridae). | this article presents morphological descriptions of larvae and adults of hypopygiopsis tumrasvini kurahashi (diptera: calliphoridae), a blow fly species that may be of forensic importance. both second and third instar larvae are illustrated, with emphasis placed on important characteristic features used for larval identification, such as the cephalopharyngeal skeleton, anterior and posterior spiracles, and dorsal spines between the prothorax and mesothorax. eight to 11 papillae were found on eac ... | 2011 | 21537981 |
