Muscidae
Muscidae are a family of flies found in the superfamily Muscoidea. Muscidae, some of which are commonly known as house flies or stable flies due to their synanthropy, are worldwide in distribution and contain almost 4,000 described species in over 100 genera. Most species are not synanthropic. Adults can be predatory, hematophagous, saprophagous, or feed on a number of types of plant and animal exudates. They can be attracted to various substances including sugar, sweat, tearand blood. Larvae occur in various habitats including decaying vegetation, dry and wet soil, nests of insects and birds, fresh water, and carrion. The Housefly, housefly, ''Musca domestica'', is the best known and most important species. Some, from the genera '' Hydrotaea'' and '' Muscina'', are involved in forensic case studies.aces the linkCluichí Identifying characteristics The antennae are three-segmented and aristate; vein Rs is two-branched, a frontal suture is present, and the calypters are ...

Musca Domestica
The housefly (''Musca domestica'') is a fly of the suborder Cyclorrhapha. It is believed to have evolved in the Cenozoic Era, possibly in the Middle East, and has spread all over the world as a commensal of humans. It is the most common fly species found in houses. Adults are gray to black, with four dark, longitudinal lines on the thorax, slightly hairy bodies, and a single pair of membranous wings. They have red eyes, set farther apart in the slightly larger female. The female housefly usually mates only once and stores the sperm for later use. She lays batches of about 100 eggs on decaying organic matter such as food waste, carrion, or feces. These soon hatch into legless white larvae, known as maggots. After two to five days of development, these metamorphose into reddish-brown pupae, about long. Adult flies normally live for two to four weeks, but can hibernate during the winter. The adults feed on a variety of liquid or semi-liquid substances, as well as solid mater ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Muscina Sp
''Muscina'' is a genus of flies that belongs to the family Muscidae, currently consisting of 27 species."ITIS Standard Report Page: Muscina." Integrated Taxonomic Information System. 20 Mar. 2009 They are worldwide in distribution and are frequently found in livestock facilities and outside restrooms. The most common species are ''M. stabulans'' (the most widely studied species), ''M. levida'', and ''M. prolapsa''. ''Muscina'' flies commonly breed in manure and defecate on food, which has been linked to the spread of some disease and illnesses."False Stable Fly." North Carolina IPM. 20 Mar. 2009 "Fly Control In Confined Livestock And Poultry Production - Novartis Animal Health Inc." The Control Of Flies On Livestock And Poultry Farms - Novartis Animal Health Inc. 20 Mar. 2009 The occurrence of ''Muscina'' larvae on dead bodies has led to their regular use in forensic investigations, as they may be used to estimate the time of death.

Hydrotaea
''Hydrotaea'' is a genus of insects in the housefly family, Muscidae. They occur in most regions of the world but are more populous in warmer climates. They are often found on feces in summer months, and are therefore generally found in close proximity to livestock. Among the 130 known species in this genus, one of the most commonly recognized is the dump fly. Along with many others genera in the family, ''Hydrotaea'' is of forensic importance in both the economic and public health scene. Flies in general are considered by many authorities to be the most important insects involved in human and veterinary medicine. Certain ''Hydrotaea'' species have been proven to carry and transmit certain diseases to warm blooded animals, including humans. Researchers continue to monitor these vectors of disease as they have been connected with the spread of mastitis. Species Description Larvae of this genus are often dimorphic obligate carnivores. The second and third instars are pred ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Muscinae
Muscinae is a subfamily of the family Muscidae. It includes two of the more familiar genera within the Muscidae family; '' Musca'' and ''Stomoxys''. The bulk of the species are in the tribe Muscini. From the 19th century, the term "Muscinae" is also an obsolete scientific name for the mosses (modern Bryophyta), once used in the taxonomy of Ernst Haeckel Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (; 16 February 1834 – 9 August 1919) was a German zoologist, naturalist, eugenicist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist and artist. He discovered, described and named thousands of new sp ... (circa 1899). Identification The tip of the scutellum is reddish, cell R5 is somewhat narrowed distally, and all coxae black.

Fanniidae
The Fanniidae are a small (285 species in five genera) group of true flies largely confined to the Holarctic and temperate Neotropical realms; there are 11 Afrotropical species, 29 Oriental, and 14 Australasian. Adults are medium-sized to small and usually have mainly dark body and leg colours. Males congregate in characteristic dancing swarms beneath trees; females are more retiring in habit. Larvae are characterised by their flattened bodies with striking lateral protuberances, and live as scavengers in various kinds of decaying organic matter. The lesser housefly '' Fannia canicularis'' is a worldwide synanthropic species. Fanniidae are indicators useful in forensic entomology. Identifying characteristics The Fanniidae were once a subfamily of Muscidae from which they may be distinguished by: *A (strictly) dorsal bristle is on the hind tibia below the middle and in addition to the dorsal preapical. *The axillary vein is strongly curved towards the wingtip, so if extended, ...
