PIOPHILIDAE View in CoL

Only three species of Piophilidae were listed in the CDO ( STEYSKAL 1977), but it that is probably true that the Oriental fauna is poor in piophilid species (cf. OZEROV 2004). Based on larvae collected in connection with a forensic case in Thailand, SUKONTASON et al. (2001) published SEM morphology of Piophila casei ( LINNAEUS) .

We captured a single male only, of a common species, which however, is recorded from Thailand for the first time.
