Differential effects of photophase on the reproductive behaviour of two species of medico-legal relevance, Peckia (Peckia) chrysostoma (Wiedemann, 1830) and Peckia (Sarcodexia) lambens (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae).

The nocturnal behaviour and reproduction patterns of Sarcophagidae species during the scotophase are largely unexplored for species in the Neotropical region. The aim of this study was to assess the light regimes under which females of Peckia (Peckia) chrysostoma (Wiedemann, 1830) and Peckia (Sarcodexia) lambens (Wiedemann, 1830) would larviposit and understand how these variables influence intrauterine development in these flies. The experiments were conducted in an experimental room (lux = 100) in two independent experiments: I.

An annotated checklist of the Sarcophagidae of Jamaica is presented based on material collected from 2018 to 2024, supplemented with specimens in museum collections as well as literature records. The checklist comprises 45 species from 21 genera, of which 23 species from 15 genera were collected during the present study and identified based on male terminalia. The following species are recorded from Jamaica for the first time: Dodge, Peckia (Sarcodexia) dominicana (Lopes), Tibana & Lopes, and Lepidodexia (Harpagopyga) diversipes (Coquillet).

Article Synopsis
- Forensic entomology uses fly species on corpses to help estimate the time of death, but current identification methods are labor-intensive and costly due to a lack of specialists.
- This paper suggests using computer vision and deep learning techniques to classify flies into specific families and genera, which could streamline the process and improve accuracy, especially when using drones for remote searches.
- Two deep learning models, MobileNetV3-Large and VGG19, were evaluated, achieving high accuracy rates of 99.39% and 99.79%, with MobileNetV3-Large being faster in processing time, indicating great potential for these technologies in forensic and emergency situations.

Flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) exhibit a wide range of feeding habits including necrophagy, coprophagy, kleptoparasitism, parasitism, and predation. Among them are species of Meigen belonging to the subgenera Lopes and Enderlein that are specialized predators of spider eggs. These flies hover around spider webs and lay their larvae on the spider egg sac.
