1. The carrion beetle Oxelytrum discicolle (Coleoptera: Silphidae) and the estimative of the minimum post-mortem interval in a forensic case in Brasília, Brazil
Abstract The order Coleoptera is considered second highest in forensic importance in criminal cases involving violent death, because members of this order increase in richness and abundance as the decomposition process progresses. We present here the first Forensic Entomology (FE) case in Brazil where the carrion beetle, Oxelytrum discicolle (Coleoptera: Sil

2. What have we learned from the dead? A compilation of three years of cooperation between entomologists and crime scene investigators in Southern Brazil
ABSTRACT With homicide rates higher than the world average, Brazil stands out as one of the most violent countries worldwide. Time of death estimation based solely on body changes can be biased or inaccurate; forensic entomology can play a determinant role in such cases. Accurate knowledge of necrophilous fauna is essential to validate experimental data and

3. Muscidae (Diptera) of medico-legal importance associated with ephemeral organic substrates in seasonally dry tropical forests
Abstract Muscidae (Diptera) comprises one of the most important taxa in medical, veterinary and forensic entomology, especially due to their association with decomposing carcasses and cadavers. Yet, knowledge on their distribution and behaviour is still incipient in several biomes, which is the case of dry tropical forests. This study aimed to evaluate the a

4. New records of Sarcophagidae species (Diptera) with forensic potential in Rio de Janeiro
ABSTRACTSarcophagidae species are frequent and abundant in the decomposition process of corpses and, consequently, play an important role as a tool for the application of Forensic Entomology. Helicobia pilifera Lopes, 1939, Microcerella erythropyga (Lopes, 1936), Oxysarcodexia fringidea Curran & Walley, 1934 and Peckia (Peckia) pexata(Wulp, 1895) were record

5. Comparative morphology and identification key for females of nine Sarcophagidae species (Diptera) with forensic importance in Southern Brazil
ABSTRACTThe identification of female flesh flies was always considered a difficult task since morphological descriptions and keys for females are rare. Even in a forensic entomology framework, where females play a major role, female flesh flies are usually not identified. In order to fill this gap in Southern Brazil fauna we provide detailed descriptions and

6. Bionomy of two flies of sanitary and forensic importance: Peckia (Sarcodexia) lambens (Wiedemann) and Oxysarcodexia amorosa (Schiner) (Diptera, Sarcophagidae)
ABSTRACTThis study aims to elucidate the bionomy of Peckia(Sarcodexia) lambens and Oxysarcodexia amorosa to provide data for medical, veterinary and forensic entomology analyses. We analyzed larval stage duration (L1–L3), weight of the mature larvae (L3), pupal stage duration, L1–adult duration, adult emergence and viability of larvae and adults of both

7. Sarchophagid flies (Insecta, Diptera) from pig carcasses in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with nine new records from the Cerrado, a threatened Neotropical biome
Sarchophagid flies (Insecta, Diptera) from pig carcasses in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with nine new records from the Cerrado, a threatened Neotropical biome. The diversity of the Sarcophagidae fauna of the Cerrado biome, also know as the Brazilian Savanna, is still underestimated. In this research we collected flies in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, during a

8. Processo de decomposição e padrão sucessional de artrópodes em carcaças de suínos expostas em locais abrigados e desabrigados / The process decomposition and the successional pattern of arthropods in pig carcasses exposed to unsheltered environments
Forensic Entomology uses data, mainly from carrion insects, to estimate the Post Mortem Interval (PMI). The oviposition pattern of these insects can be influenced by several factors, such as the presence of materials in the vicinity of the body, whether the corpses are buried, burned or disposed in open or closed environments, etc. These factors can affect t

9. Chave taxonômica interativa para espécies de dípteros califorídeos (Infraordem: Muscomorpha) do Brasil / Interactive key for calliphorid dipterans species (Infraorder: Muscomorpha) from Brazil
Muitos levantamentos faunísticos de dípteros que foram e têm sido realizados atualmente no Brasil são precários por relatarem a presença de espécimes até níveis taxonômicos superiores ao de espécie. Dentre uma série de dificuldades que contribuem para isso estão a ausência de chaves taxonômicas para certos grupos e a insuficiência na descriç

10. New records of calyptrate dipterans (Fanniidae, Muscidae and Sarcophagidae) associated with the decomposition of domestic pigs in Brazil
The calyptrate dipterans are the most important decomposers of human cadavers. Knowledge of their species and distribution are of great importance to forensic entomology, especially because of the enormous diversity in Brazil. Carcasses of domestic pigs (Sus scrofa, L) were the experimental models used to attract calyptrates of forensic interest during the w

11. Dipterofauna associated with human cadavers at the medico-legal institute os Pernambuco and its implications for the forensic entomology / Dipterofauna associada a cadÃveres humanos no Instituto MÃdico Legal de Pernambuco e sua aplicaÃÃo na Entomologia Forense
Insetos podem ser utilizados como ferramentas para auxiliar as ciÃncias forenses, entre outros, na estimativa do intervalo pÃs-morte (IPM). A decomposiÃÃo à um processo cuja cronologia pode ser determinada nÃo apenas por uma sÃrie de eventos quÃmicos e fÃsicos, mas tambÃm pelos grupos de insetos com nichos especÃficos que ocupam diferentes fases.
