On the Morphology and Mitochondrial DNA Barcoding of the Flesh Fly <I>Sarcophaga</I> (<I>Liopygia</I>) <I>argyrostoma</I> (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) – An important Species in Forensic Entomology

Abstract

Abstract. Descriptions of the developmental stages of Sarcophaga (Liopygia) argyrostoma (R.-D.) are given. Scanning electron microscope images of most of its immature stages are presented for the first time. The sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene fulfilling DNA barcoding standards is presented for the first time.
