Stomopogon Malloch (Diptera, Muscidae) is a Neotropical genus recorded from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Peru. In this contribution, the genus is revised, and three new species are described, one from Bolivia (Murillo, La Paz), one from Brazil (Palmas, Paraná) and one from Peru (Wayqecha, Cuzco). The descriptions include color images, illustrations and ultrastructural morphology of the terminalia of the adult. We provide an identification key to the species of Stomopogon and an updated map with species' distributions. Stomopogon acuta (Malloch, 1934) is proposed as a new junior synonym of S. inculta Stein, 1911.

salivary gland hypertrophy virus (MdSGHV) affects house flies by enlarging salivary glands, impeding ovary development in females, and mating behavior in both males and females. It is not known if this virus impacts the quantity of saliva produced by house flies. This study aimed to establish baseline saliva quantities in healthy across sexes and ages and examine how MdSGHV infection influences saliva output in 5-day-old males.

- This text reviews and updates the classification of the muscid fly genera Phaonia and Muscina found in Macaronesia, including the Azores, Canary Islands, and Madeira.
- The authors propose that the species Phaonia tuguriorum is a senior synonym of P. scutellata and that the name P. signata should be reinstated for P. tuguriorum in certain contexts.
- The paper identifies three species each of Phaonia and Muscina in the region and highlights four endemic subspecies unique to the Canary Islands, along with identification keys for both male and female flies.
