102C87C3FFEBFFECE883EE2F4CDFC8B7.taxon	discussion	Bufolucilia Townsend, 1919 b: 542. Type species: Lucilia bufonivora Moniez, 1876, by original designation. Francilia Shannon, 1924: 74. Type species: Francilia alaskensis Shannon, 1924, by monotypy. Viridinsula Shannon, 1926: 131 (as a subgenus of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830). Type species: Musca pionia Walker, 1849, by original designation. Shannon (1926) erected the subgenus Viridinsula for L. pionia based on the anteroventral expansion of the head seen in male specimens. Curran (1934 b) elevated Shannon’s subgenus to full genus level for both L. pionia and L. deceptor. James (1966) concluded Curran’s elevation of Viridinsula to full genus status was not warranted and retained it as a subgenus and applied it to all three species endemic to the Galápagos. Rognes (1991) did not recognize subgenera and listed Viridinsula as a synonym of Lucilia.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFEBFFECE883EE2F4CDFC8B7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The genus can be distinguished by a bare stem vein above; presence of a sclerite on the suprasquamal ridge with a conspicuous cluster of setae near the base of the scutellum and the lower calypter bare above (Whitworth 2006, fig. 14). It also normally has a metallic, shining body color. Other families (Muscidae, Sarcophagidae, and Tachinidae) have species with shining body color which may be encountered in the region, see the key to families in Whitworth (2006: 693) and the discussion in Vargas & Wood (2010) to distinguish them.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFEBFFECE883EE2F4CDFC8B7.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This study provides a key to the 23 Lucilia species known to occur in the Neotropical Region. See Tables 1 and 2 for a comparison of important character states used to identify these species. Twelve species were selected for detailed study, including six new species. The five species of Lucilia endemic to the West Indies, and L. cluvia will not be discussed in detail herein because they were addressed in Whitworth (2010). Three species, L. deceptor, L. pionia (Walker), and L. setosa (James) are found in the Ecuadorean Galápagos Islands. Lucilia deceptor is also found in the Costa Rican Cocos Islands. James (1966) provided descriptions and figures of male genitalia for each of these species, but they were not studied in detail. Tantawi & Sinclair (2013) conducted a more detailed study of the Galápagos species providing illustrations of male genitalia and frons of both sexes. The cosmopolitan species L. cuprina and L. sericata are also not detailed herein since they have been described by numerous authors (Hall 1948, Whitworth 2006). The Nearctic species L. coeruleiviridis Macquart, L. illustris (Meigen), and L. silvarum (Meigen) which likely occur in Mexico (James 1970) are not included in this key; these species may be keyed using Whitworth (2006: 718). Lucilia coeruleiviridis was listed as a species found in the Neotropical Region by Whitworth (2010) following Townsend (1908) who recorded it from Cuba (as L. oculata). Whitworth (2010) listed L. coeruleiviridis in Guatemala, based on a single specimen examined. The listing by Kosmann et al. (2013) of this species in the Neotropical Region appears to be based on Whitworth (2010). Since that study, the Guatemala specimen was re-examined and it was determined to be a discolored and nontypical specimen of L. eximia. Lucilia coeruleiviridis has been excluded from the key since I have not found it in the Neotropical Region and I have been unable to verify its presence in Cuba. A search of Townsend material in USNM revealed no paratypes of L. oculata, and no USNM specimens of L. coeruleiviridis from Cuba were found (Norman Woodley, pers. comm.). The record of L. oculata, and hence L. coeruleiviridis, from Cuba is assumed to have been based on a misidentified specimen. Lucilia coeruleiviridis can be determined using the key to Lucilia in Whitworth (2006) if its presence is suspected. However, it is included in the barcode diagram to show its relationship to other Lucilia (Fig. 161). Despite the paucity of good distinguishing characters in Neotropical Lucilia, this study has revealed six new species, which are described herein. The status of three species, L. japuhybensis, L. ochricornis, and L. purpurascens has been clarified herein. Head Characters. The ratio of frons to head width measured at the narrowest area of the frons is a useful character to help separate many species, especially for males. Six species have males with exceptionally broad frons (0.115 – 0.23); four have frons of medium width (0.05 – 0.06) and thirteen have narrow frons (0.01 – 0.04) (Table 1). In the species studied, the female frons is always wider than the male (0.21 – 0.39) frons; widths in females tend to be less distinctive than in males, but can be useful to help separate some species (Table 1). Seven species have some pale setae on the gena along with dark setae (as in Fig. 1). When pale setae are present on the gena, they may be limited to the posterodorsal corner of the gena or extend forward and downward to cover almost all of the gena. Species with this character state include L. albofusca, L. cluvia, L. deceptor, L. nitida, L. pulverulenta, L. rica and L. rognesi, while the remaining 16 species have only dark setae on the gena (as in Fig. 2). Occasional specimens in the group with dark seta on the gena may have a few pale setae that occur just above the junction of the postgena with the gena; specimens with this condition should still be considered to have dark setae on the gena. Fourteen species have pale, weak setae below and behind the postocular row (as in Fig. 3), eight species have stout dark setae, the condition of these setae in L. problematica was not determined (Table 1). Some species with weak setae, behind the postocular row, like L. eximia, and L. woodi, have a few stout dark setae behind the posteroventral corner of the eye, but the setae behind the rest of the postocular row are weak. These specimens are considered to have weak setae below and behind the postocular row of setae. Eye facet size was measured in 11 selected species to help separate poorly known species. See the methods section for an explanation of how facet diameters were measured. See Table 1, for a comparison of facet size by species and sex. Males of six species have anterior facets that are relatively large, ranging from 0.55 mm – 0.68 mm (as in Fig. 6). Males of the remaining five species studied have smaller anterior facets ranging from 0.40 mm – 0.49 mm (as in Fig. 5). Anterior facets in L. woodi are twice the size of posterior facets in both sexes. In L. purpurascens the anterior facets in males are twice the diameter of the posterior facets (0.64 mm / 0.32 mm) (Fig. 6), while in females the anterior and posterior facets are much smaller and more similar in size (0.45 mm / 0.34 mm). Thorax and Abdomen Characters. Chaetotaxy patterns on the thorax are similar in most species of Neotropical Lucilia, and this character is not mentioned unless the pattern varies. Exceptions are two cosmopolitan species of Lucilia, L. cuprina and L. sericata, which have three postsutural acrostichal setae, while the remaining 21 species have two postsutural acrostichals. In the Galápagos species L. deceptor, the presutural intra-alar is sometimes much reduced or absent, while it is usually stronger in all other species. Color of upper and lower calypter disc and rim are also important characters that vary with species and in some cases, by sex. Some species have upper and lower calypters pale in both sexes, L. cluvia, L. cuprina, L. deceptor, L. pionia, L. sericata, L. setosa, in others, calypters are pale except lower calypter faintly tan to brown in males only, L. eximia, L. ibis, L. mexicana, L. rica, L. ochricornis, and L. retroversa to both upper and lower calypters dark in both sexes, L. fayeae, L. nitida, L. pulverulenta, L. purpurascens, L. vulgata, L. woodi, L. japuhybensis, L. rognesi (Fig. 8), to upper and lower dark in males and upper pale and lower dark in females, L. problematica, to upper calypter pale and lower dark in both sexes, L. albofusca (Fig. 9), L. lucigerens. Basicosta color is dark brown to tan in most species (Fig. 11); only L. cluvia, L. cuprina, L. deceptor, L. problematica, L. retroversa and L. sericata have whitish to orange colored basicostas (Fig. 10). The presence or absence of the coxopleural streak can help distinguish species (Table 2). When present, it is a suture-like depression between the katepimeron and meron (see Rognes 1991, fig. 6 or Whitworth 2006, fig. 16). The streak is often paler in color and distinct, when there is no color difference, the suture can be hard to see. On the mainland of Central and South America, species with pale setae on the gena lack the streak, except it is present in L. cluvia, which occurs in Central America. In the Galápagos, Cocos and West Indies islands, L. deceptor (Galápagos and Cocos) has pale setae and lacks the streak, while L. rica (West Indies) has both pale setae and the streak. Again on the mainland, all species with dark setae on the gena have the streak present, except L. purpurascens and L. woodi. The island species of L. pionia and L. setosa (Galápagos) and L. retroversa (West Indies) have dark setae on the gena, and lack the streak; in L. fayeae (West Indies) the streak is variable, it is distinct in some specimens and absent in others. Microtomentum patterns on the thorax and abdomen provide useful characters; see Table 2 for a comparison between species. The thorax may be covered with microtomentum (as in Fig. 12), limited to the presutural area (as in Fig. 13), small patches (as in Fig. 14) or the whole thorax may be polished (as in Fig. 15). In most species, the abdomen has T 1 + 2 dark greenish or bluish black T 1 + 2 and T 3 usually have microtomentum, while some or all of segments T 4 and T 5 are polished. The posterior edges of T 3 and T 4 have black bands in the three endemic Galápagos species. Faint bands can sometimes be seen in the same area on other Lucilia species. Generally body color cannot be relied on for species distinctions, with a few exceptions. Two Neotropical species lack the bright, shining body color, the West Indies L. problematica, and the Galápagos and Cocos Islands L. deceptor (Curran) are dull colored with dense microtomentum and only faint underlying metallic blackish-green color. For L. ibis, the very distinctive violet-pink body color is a useful character (Fig. 21), as is the bright aeneous coloration on T 5 in most L. lucigerens. Males. Frons width in males tends to be very consistent within species and is an important key character for many species. See Table 1 for a comparison of frons to head ratios for each species. The shape of surstyli and cerci tends to be very similar between species, but in lateral view, they fall into a few more or less distinct groups: surstylus short broad, parallel sided (digitate), L. cuprina (Hall 1948, figs. K, L), L. ibis, L. ochricornis, L. sericata (Hall 1948, figs. F, G), L. vulgata (Figs. 43, 44; 51, 52, 59, 60 respectively); surstylus a little longer, narrower, parallel sided, L. woodi (Fig. 61, 62); surstylus medium length, digitate, gradually expanded toward distal end of surstylus, L. nitida (Fig. 49, 50); surstylus medium length, curved forward with distal end expanded, L. purpurascens (Figs. 55, 56), L. lucigerens (Whitworth 2010, figs. 46, 47), L. retroversa (Whitworth 2010, figs. 48, 49); surstylus medium length, parallel sided, L. albofusca (Figs. 39, 40), L. problematica (Hall 1948, p. 423, A, B), L. pulverulenta (Figs. 53, 54), L. rica (Whitworth 2010, figs. 50, 51), L. rognesi (Figs. 57, 58); surstylus with distal end narrower, and curved slightly forward, L. cluvia (figs. 38, 39, Whitworth 2010), L. eximia (Figs. 41, 42), L. pionia (James 1966, fig. 2; Tantawi & Sinclair 2013, figs. 3 G, H); surstylus medium length, narrower at base, distal half expanded, L. fayeae (Whitworth 2010, figs. 44, 45); surstylus in lateral view medium length, slightly curved forward, slender and parallel sided; in posterior view the cerci and surstyli are about equal in length, L. setosa (James 1966, figs. 7, 8; Tantawi & Sinclair 2013, figs. 2 E, F); surstylus longer, slender, curved forward, parallel sided, L. mexicana (Figs. 47, 48) and L. japuhybensis (Figs. 45, 46). Lucilia mexicana also has distinctive upside down Y-shaped cerci in the posterior view, and tip of cercus with distinct hook (Figs. 47, 48). Lucilia japuhybensis surstyli and cerci are exceptionally long, and in lateral view, the tip of the cercus is hooked like L. mexicana. Lucilia deceptor cerci are long and slender, much longer than surstyli; tips of cerci diverge in posterior view, in lateral view, the tip of the surstylus is enlarged and extends posteriorly (James 1966 figs. 4, 5; Tantawi & Sinclair 2013, figs 1 E, F. Phalli of the 12 species studied in detail herein (Figs. 63 – 86) are very similar to those illustrated in Whitworth (2010), figs. 52 – 63. The epiphallus is broad and cupped and the distal end curves forward, tip angling more or less sharply downward. The epiphallus originates near posterior end of basiphallus in most species; it is slightly farther forward in L. mexicana and L. japuhybensis. The venter of hypophallus is serrated; tip of paraphallus curves down and usually slightly to the rear; acrophallus similar in all species, anterior end with posterior pointing denticles. Shape of hypandria is more or less distinctive in each species although variation is minimal between species; width of distal end tends to be narrower in species such as L. japuhybensis and L. woodi, while broader in species like L. mexicana, L. ochricornis, L. purpurascens, and L. vulgata. The pre- and postgonites of all species are similar, the pregonite has 3 – 4 setae, including one on the tip, while the postgonite has a single long seta originating from near the base. The ejaculatory sclerites are similar, broader in L. mexicana and L. nitida, while narrower in the remaining species. See Figs. 87 – 122 for photos of hypandria, pre- and postgonites, and ejaculatory sclerites. The sternites are also similar, though the exact shape and size of each sternite varies between species, especially in segments ST 2 and ST 4 – 5 (Figs. 123 – 134). Females. Females share many characters with males, but they consistently differ in several ways. In the 23 species studied, frons width was broader than males, (0.21 – 0.39 of head width at narrowest) (see Table 1 for a comparison of species), with one lateroclinate and two proclinate orbital setae. Typically the frontal vitta and fronto-orbitals are much broader in females than males and the frontal setae extend the full length of the frontoorbital plate, while in most males, they do not. Normally the pattern of microtomentum on the thorax does not vary significantly between sexes, but in some species the pattern on the abdomen may vary. If it is significant, it is mentioned in the species discussion. The most extreme example is in L. mexicana where females have all but the front edge of T 5 polished, while in males, only the rear half of T 5 is polished. For some species, calypter color of the upper and lower calypters differs between sexes (Table 2). See Whitworth (2010) for a discussion of ovipositor characters of four species endemic to the West Indies, and L. cluvia. Lucilia problematica females were not dissected. The female genitalia of Galápagos species L. deceptor, L. pionia, and L. setosa also were not dissected in this study and their condition is unknown. In the 12 species studied in detail, female genitalia were dissected and ovipositors and spermathecae were illustrated (Figs. 135 – 158). Tergites and sternites 6 – 8 of the ovipositor exhibited some variation between species. In 9 species, the cuticle on the anterior margin of T 6 is weakened and translucent, in 2 species, L. mexicana and L. rognesi, only the anterolateral corners are weakened, and in one species, L. eximia, there is no weakening. ST 6 of most species have lateral margins weakened and ST 6 – 7 has a posterior digit-like prolongation into the intersegmental membrane. This digit-like extension is found in 11 of the 12 species studied herein; only L. purpurascens lacks these extensions (Fig. 143). When the ovipositors of West Indies Lucilia were studied (Whitworth 2010) these structures were not noted, but upon re-examination the projections are present to some degree in all. Rognes (1991) also found these extensions in some species of Lucilia he studied in Fennoscandia and Denmark. The central portion of T 7 is at least partially divided by weakened, translucent cuticle and / or membrane in all 12 species. The pattern of cuticular weakening extends the full length of the tergite in L. eximia, L. ibis, L. ochricornis, L. nitida, L. purpurascens, and L. woodi; in the remaining species the division of the tergite ends just short of the posterior margin. The weakened cuticle is further separated by membrane in all species, ranging from a tiny area of membrane at the anterior edge in L. ochricornis to the anterior two-thirds of the segment in L. albofusca, L. eximia, L. nitida, L. purpurascens, L. rognesi, L. vulgata, and L. woodi. T 8 is composed of two tergites broadly separated by membrane, in some species the tergites join at the posterior edge of the segment. In L. ibis, L. japuhybensis, L. purpurascens, and L. vulgata the posterior edge of the tergite is more or less connected by a narrow strip of cuticle. The shape of ST 8 is somewhat variable among species. The shape of the epiproct and hypoproct are similar between species though they exhibit some variation in shape (Figs. 135 – 158 )). The spermathecae of all 12 species are similar as well (Figs. 147 – 158).	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFEBFFECE883EE2F4CDFC8B7.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Some species have very limited distributions so range information can be used to narrow down species identity. For example, endemic species in the West Indies and Galápagos Islands are not found on the mainland. Luclia mexicana is known only from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras in the Neotropics while L. ibis is known only from the eastern slope of the Andes in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. When distribution data helps distinguish species, it is included in the key. DNA Analysis. Samples of specimens for selected species were submitted to the BOLD project at the University of Guelph in an effort to increase information needed to distinguish valid species. See details of this project under Methods. CO 1 barcodes were generated for 14 species of Neotropical Lucilia. See the barcode diagram showing the clusters of species analyzed (Fig. 161). Details of barcoding results, when available, are given under each species.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFF9FFEEE882EC6F4C2DCE3E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Gena with pale setae extending from the posterior edge about halfway forward, pale setae on the gena is a character state found in only 7 of the 23 Neotropical Lucilia species. Disc and rim of upper calypter pale whitish; disc and rim of lower calypter tan to brown in both sexes (Fig. 9); this combination is found only in one other species in the neotropics, L. lucigerens (West Indies-Jamaica only), though upper calypter pale and lower dark is found in males of several species in the area (L. eximia, L. deceptor, L. ibis, L. mexicana, L. ochricornis, L. retroversa, L. rica). Other species with pale setae on gena have both upper and lower calypters brown, except L. rica which is known only from the West Indies and Bermuda. Vestiture of parafacial and gena is usually bright yellow-gold when viewed from above, orange when viewed from below. Dorsum of thorax polished when viewed from rear, little or no microtomentum on dorsum of thorax. Setae below and behind strong postocular row pale and weak.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

Hough (1899) noted this species has a “ white beard ”; only one species of Lucilia in the Nearctic Region is known to have pale setae on the gena and this is L. cluvia.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFFBFFE1E882EBE64A38C86B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. One of seven species in the Neotropical Region with pale setae on the gena. Lucilia cluvia is the only species in the region that has the combination of pale setae on gena and basicosta pale orange (Figs. 1, 10). The pale orange basicosta is also found in five other species in the region, including two species with three postacrostichals (L. cuprina and L. sericata), two species known only from the West Indies (L. problematica and L. retroversa), and one species (L. deceptor) known only from the Galápagos and Cocos Islands. Both calypters are pale in both sexes, a condition found in only six species in the region (Table 2). Males of L. cluvia have an exceptionally wide frons, 0.12 (0.10 – 13 / 13) of head width at narrowest, which readily distinguishes this species from other similar species. The broad frons in males is unique to this species with two postacrostichals on the mainland in the Neotropics. The males of the three species with two postacrostichals in the Galápagos also have a very broad frons, as do the two species with three postacrostichals in the Neotropics. Lucilia cluvia is known only from Central America, the West Indies, and the Nearctic Region.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFFBFFE1E882EBE64A38C86B.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Curran (1934 a) listed L. cluvia from Guyana (as British Guiana), this is almost certainly a misidentification as this species has not otherwise been found in South America. Lucilia albofusca also has pale setae on the gena (like L. cluvia), it is a common species in Guyana and French Guiana and is likely what he was seeing. Mariluis et al. (1994) recorded this species from Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela and described three forms of this species. They distinguished L. eximia and L. cluvia based, in part, on the color of setae on the gena (jowls). They described the gena of L. eximia with white pilosity and the gena of L. cluvia without white pilosity. The authors listed L. rica and L. ibis as synonyms of L. cluvia, this was a mistake, both are valid species. The discussion of L. cluvia was repeated in Mariluis (2002). In fact, the reverse condition exists; L. cluvia has pale setae on the gena while L. eximia has dark setae on the gena. Lucilia cluvia is the only mainland species with the combination of a pale yellow to orange basicosta and pale setae on the gena in the region. The frons width of male L. cluvia is distinctive, 0.12 (0.10 – 0.13) of head width at narrowest; it is broader than any other mainland Neotropical Lucilia with two postsutural acrostichals (Lucilia males of three species in the Galápagos have a broader frons). Mariluis & Mulieri (2003) recorded this species from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay and several authors appear to have followed their identification. I believe all records of this species from South America are likely an error. Amat et. al. (2008) provided a key to species of Colombia, the characters given in the key appear to be for L. cluvia, but the authors do not indicate they collected it there and there is no evidence this species occurs there. Barcodes for four specimens were obtained; two specimens from Puerto Rico and two from Costa Rica and they formed a distinct group (Fig. 161).	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFF5FFE4E882ECE74DE7CEB1.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species was common in many areas and somewhat variable, it has been described as different species by numerous authors, see synonyms above. Mello (1961) listed Phaenicia ochricornis, P. mera, and P. primaveris as synonyms of L. eximia, these were misidentifications. This species was the most frequently encountered species of Lucilia in most of the Neotropical Region and it occurs over a large geographical area. It is likely found in every country through Central and South America from Argentina north. Barcodes for 28 specimens of this species were obtained from Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominica, Honduras, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and from the United States (Louisiana and Texas). Specimens grouped into several discrete clusters, widely separated (Fig. 161). This raised the possibility that some of these groups are cryptic species. A study of specimens within groups revealed some variation in morphology, but, in my opinion, none of the differences merited the description of separate species. See Whitworth (2010) for a discussion of differences seen between West Indies and mainland L. eximia. A possible explanation for the variation in barcodes for this species is that isolated populations widely separated evolved at different rates. They slowly grew more different, but genes may change faster than the observable physical characteristics that mirror these changes. Further study of the various populations may reveal groups that merit species distinctions. It is possible that L. eximia is a species complex based on the CO 1 data, but it is beyond the scope of the present work to sort this out.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFF1FFE4E882EA164C88CAF5.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Fourteen specimens were barcoded from the West Indies islands of Dominica and Puerto Rico. Interestingly, the Dominica specimens grouped with two separate L. eximia clusters, while five specimens from Puerto Rico formed a discreet group separate from L. eximia. A few other specimens of L. fayeae were scattered in a variety of locations in the tree. (Table 3). The Dominica specimens were re-examined and they are clearly L. fayeae and distinct from L. eximia. The most obvious difference is the upper and lower calypters are dark in both sexes of L. fayeae, while in L. eximia the upper calypter is pale in both sexes, the lower calypter is dark in males and pale in females. Male genitalia are also distinctly different, see figs. 42 – 45 Whitworth (2010).	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFF2FFE6E882EE474B23CB89.taxon	materials_examined	Type information. The status of L. japuhybensis (Mello) has been uncertain since this species was described on the basis of a single male (Mello 1961). In the process of studying a possible new species of Lucilia found in southeastern Brazil, male genitalia photos taken were compared to Mello’s figures (Mello 1961, p. 275, figs. 45 – 49) as well as other characters detailed in his description. A comparison of the characters shown in Mello’s figures of the possible new species are given in Figs. 22 – 27. The male genitalia in lateral view are exceptionally long, slender, and curved forward, unlike those of any other Lucilia in the region. Mello’s anterior view of the head is very close to my photo and an average frons width of 0.03 at narrowest of head width is a match for my specimens. This frons width is distinctive; other species occurring in the area have either a narrower or wider average frons width (0.02 or 0.05). In an effort to examine the holotype, I contacted Maŕcio Felix, Coleção Entomológica do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz who spoke with the author of this species, R. P. de Mello (pers. comm.). He said the body of the specimen was destroyed in a 1960 s military insurrection; however a slide of the holotype genitalia survived and is in FIOC. The slide was not available for loan. However, Mello’s (1961) figure of the genitalia was adequate to compare to my material. Based on the comparison of these features, I have concluded that the Mello species and my material belong to the same taxon. Most of the specimens of this species examined are 30 – 60 years old, its current distribution is uncertain.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFCCFFD8E882EB934A67CB5B.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Hall (1948, p. 204) used the condition of setae below and behind the postocular row in his key to separate L. mexicana from other Lucilia. However, he described the additional dark setae in this species as a second row of postocular setae. The single postocular row of setae is actually much stronger than the setae below and behind it. I do not consider these as extra rows of postoculars; rather they are stout, dark setae below and behind the postocular row. Hall’s key indicated only L. mexicana had this character, while L. purpurascens and L. coeruleiviridis lacked it. In my studies, I found both L. purpurascens and L. coeruleiviridis actually share this character with L. mexicana. Five specimens were barcoded; they formed a group along with L. coeruleiviridis though morphologically they are easily distinguished from each other (Fig. 161). DeBry et al. (2013) also noted that DNA analysis did not distinguish these two species. Two specimens of L. eximia from East Baton Rouge, LA also grouped with these specimens, though upon re-examination they proved to be typical for L. eximia. Oddly, none of the many other L. eximia barcoded grouped near this species. As mentioned under the discussion of L. eximia, barcodes did a poor job of distinguishing this species.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

One of only seven species in the Neotropical Region with pale setae on the gena, this species is unique in that its thorax is wholly polished with no microtomentum. Only L. rognesi is close to this species, but the presutural area of thorax has a few patches of microtomentum. Furthermore, the distribution of these two species does not overlap; the former is known from Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela, while the latter is known from Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFCEFFDCE882EE2E4D26CBDC.taxon	materials_examined	Type information. Musca ochricornis Wiedemann, 1830. Described from 2 males and 4 females from Montevideo, Uruguay. The specimens are syntypes, no type specimen was chosen. One male and 2 females from ZMHB were examined, they are all in excellent condition and they are conspecific. The male specimen was selected as the lectotype; the female specimens were labeled paralectotypes. Lectotype male (ZMHB) in good condition, completely intact, see Fig. 16 for the figure of specimen and specimen labels. The labels say Montevid. Sello., # 6935. The collection location was Montevideo, Uruguay, the collector was Sello. It appears the label Lucilia ochricornis was added by Dr. Enderlein. According to Joachim Ziegler, curator of Diptera at ZMHB (pers. comm.), Wiedemann wrote “ Aus Brasilien ” (from Brazil) in his description, but Ziegler notes that Montevideo (Uruguay) was a province of Brazil until 1828. Wiedemann likely was not aware of the change at the time of his publication. Aubertin’s (1933) description leaves one uncertain of what she was seeing. She stated “ squamae dark in both sexes ”. In fact the upper calypter is pale in both sexes; the lower is dark in the male and pale in the female. She also stated the male frons width ranges from half the width to equal to the width of the first flagellomere. Such a large range of variation in male frons would be very unusual, and leaves one wondering if she was looking at more than one species. This species has a broad frons about equal to the width of the first flagellomere. Aubertin stated that she examined the male type of the series from the Vienna Museum (NMW) and that there were two males and a series of females in the Berlin Museum (ZMHB). In the process of discussing Wiedemann types, Pont (1997) searched NMW for syntypes of this species and could not find any specimens. Later, a dusty, squashed male specimen was found by another researcher and Pont concluded this was the specimen Aubertin examined. He stated that she had designated it as the lectotype by inference. He also noted that, at that time, this species was considered a synonym of L. eximia (James 1970). To resolve the identity of this species, I contacted NMW and asked that they try to locate this specimen, or other specimens under this name. In a search of NMW by curator Peter Sehnal, he found no evidence of any specimens labeled L. ochricornis, nor were there any calliphorids with this species name under any other genus names (pers. comm.). He concluded that it was not present in their museum and was either lost or had been sent elsewhere. Therefore I contacted Joachim Ziegler at ZMHB who stated that he had two males and four females from Wiedemann’s original series which are detailed above. I contacted Pont (pers. comm.) and he agreed that in Aubertin’s statement regarding the Vienna specimen being “ the male type of the series ”, she was most probably not saying that this was “ the type male ”. Thus it was not a lectotype designation, but a reference to the fact that this specimen, like the rest of Wiedemann’s series, was labeled “ type ”. In any event the specimen could not be located and it seemed prudent to designate a lectotype for this species to finally resolve the identity of this name. Baumgartner & Greenberg (1985) listed this species from their collections in Peru. However they relied on Aubertin’s key to identify this species; her concept of this species appears to have been mistaken, so their identification may have been incorrect. Lucilia mera Shannon & Del Ponte, 1926 Described from 3 males and 2 females. One male and 1 female each have the USNM number 40813. Two males and 2 females are from San Pedro de Jujuy, Argentina. One male is from Concepción, Tucumán, Argentina. The specimens are syntypes, no holotype was selected. Two males and 2 females were examined from this series, they are conspecific, 1 male from San Pedro was not located. One male examined (from San Pedro) was labeled cotype, the other male (from Concepción) and 2 females were labeled syntypes. The male labeled cotype was selected as the lectotype; the other specimens were labeled paralectotypes. Lectotype male (USNM) in good condition, see Fig. 18 for a figure of the specimen and the specimen labels. Though not given on the labels, the authors stated that this specimen was collected April 28, 1926, by Shannon and Shannon. This nominal species is a synonym for Lucilia ochricornis. Lucilia primaveris Shannon & Del Ponte, 1926 Described from 7 males and 9 females from San Isidro, Buenos Aires, Argentina. One male and one female were examined, the male was labeled cotype, the female was labeled syntype, each specimen was labeled USNM # 40814. The two specimens are conspecific. The specimens are syntypes, no holotype was selected. The male specimen was selected as the lectotype; the female specimen was labeled paralectotype. Lectotype male (USNM) is in fairly good condition, the dorsum of T 4 and T 5 have been cut out in the process of extracting the genitalia which are in a vial under the specimen. The dissected genitalia are in good condition. T 3 has some damage from the pin, both midlegs are missing. See figure of specimen and specimen labels, Fig. 19. Though not on the label, the authors state these specimens were collected September 16, 1926 by R. C. Shannon. This nominal species is a synonym for Lucilia ochricornis. I have concluded that both L. mera and L. primaveris represent a single species. The L. mera type specimens are bright green while the L. primaveris types are purple. The green coloration appears to be most common, the purple variant, though less common, was seen regularly (a total of over 100 specimens were examined). This sort of color variation occurs with many other Lucilia species as well. The authors further separated these species based on the number of posterodorsal setae on midtibia, they stated that L. mera has one seta and L. primaveris has two setae. A careful examination of both color variants (as well as several blue colored specimens) showed this character was unreliable. Furthermore, specimens of these species were virtually identical in every other way, including male and female genitalia. I was prepared to use L. mera as the valid name for this species until I examined the types for L. ochricornis. They clearly all belong to the same species and L. ochricornis has precedence, making both names synonyms.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFCEFFDCE882EE2E4D26CBDC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Lucilia ochricornis can be distinguished by the following characters: the upper calypter is white in both sexes, the lower is tan; in males, in females both calypters are white, this combination is as in L. eximia and L. mexicana. Both sexes have one or more strong rows of stout dark setae below the postocular row of strong setae. They also usually have an orange parafacial with the anterior third or more of gena orange. Identification. This species shares many characters with L. vulgata and ranges can overlap. In good specimens, upper calypters of L. ochricornis are usually bright white in color in both sexes, and the lower calypter is bright white in females, and light tan in males. In specimens exposed to high humidity or stored in liquids, calypters may darken, causing them to key to L. vulgata. In L. ochricornis, normally most of the parafacial and the anterior third of the gena are orange; in L. vulgata, usually only the antero-ventral edge of the parafacial is orange and the gena is tan. Male genitalia are very similar, but T 7 of the ovipositor in L. ochricornis is fully divided vertically midway by weak cuticle (Fig. 141); while in L. vulgata, the anterior two-thirds is divided by membrane (Fig. 145). This species was found only in southern South America, in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, where its range overlapped with L. vulgata. However, L. vulgata is more widespread, ranging from Argentina to Venezuela. Lucilia ochricornis shares a row of stout dark setae behind and below the postocular row with L. mexicana (Fig. 4). It can be separated from L. mexicana with the following characters: L. ochricornis vs. L. mexicana, lower parafacial and anterior half or more of gena orange to yellow vs. parafacial and gena dark silvery; T 1 – T 4 with microtomentum, except rear edge of T 4 and T 5 polished vs. only rear half of T 5 polished in males, all but front edge of T 5 polished in females; males have a broad frons to head ratio, a character shared with L. mexicana (0.05 – 0.07) which separates both species from L. eximia (0.03); in males, cerci almost parallel in posterior view (Fig. 52) vs., cerci, upside down Y-shape in posterior view (Fig. 48); known only from the southern half of South America vs. known only from Central America and the Nearctic Region.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFCEFFDCE882EE2E4D26CBDC.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Lucilia ochricornis is similar to L. eximia, which explains why many authors synonymized it with that species; however, it is clearly distinct. About 5 % of the specimens examined had orange basicostas. Initially they were thought to be a different species from the majority of specimens with brown basicostas. The genitalia of both sexes with orange and brown basicostas were dissected and only the basicosta color was different, otherwise those with orange basicostas appeared to be identical to the species with brown basicostas. Normally in Lucilia, basicosta color is a consistently reliable character state to help distinguish species. Barcodes were obtained for 14 specimens of this species and they formed a distinct cluster distinct from other species (Fig. 161). Of these specimens, one male and four females had orange basicostas. The fact that they grouped tightly based on barcodes, and no other differences were found between them led to the conclusion that this was intraspecific variation. The barcode results supported the conclusion, based on morphology, that this species is distinct from L. vulgata.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFCAFFDFE882E9CA49FCC81C.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species was described in detail by James (1966). Tantawi & Sinclair (2013) studied specimens of L. pionia and found that L. pionia - like specimens from the island of Española lack the typical forward and downward extension of the head. The specimens from Española are in poor condition, Tantawi and Sinclair (2013) have stated in their key that good quality male specimens of typical L. pionia are needed to assess the size of setae on T 5. Some other differences were noted, but the male genitalia appeared identical. They suggested the status of identity of the specimens on Española that are close to L. pionia should be re-evaluated once better specimens are available. They found typical L. pionia on other Galápagos Islands.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

This species appears nontypical for the genus, the body color is metallic-tan and specimens look somewhat teneral, the coloration resembles the Galápagos species L. deceptor. They share similar body color, an orange to yellow basicosta and all abdominal tergites with microtomentum, but the male frons in L. problematica is only 0.02 of head width at narrowest in males while L. deceptor males have a wide frons, about 0.23 of head width at narrowest.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

If they are missed, specimens will key to L. vulgata. The specimens from Colombia and Ecuador are distant from where most specimens were found, but they still appear to be L. pulverulenta. Barcode data was obtained for nine specimens, all from Costa Rica. The barcodes for six of these specimens placed them in a distinct group (Fig. 161). It would be useful to get barcode data for specimens from Colombia, Ecuador or other areas to see if they match the Costa Rican species.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

Frons narrow 0.01 (0.01 / 5) of head width at narrowest; anterior eye facets much enlarged, twice the diameter of the rear facets (0.64 mm and 0.32 mm, Fig. 6). Fronto-orbital plates slender, silvery color with frontal setae ascending about one-third of way to vertex; parafacial mostly silvery, with lower third to half more or less orange; gena dark silvery with dark setae, postgena also dark silvery, anterior third with dark setae, remainder with pale setae; frontal vitta dark orange, very short, about one-quarter of the way up the frons, fronto-orbital plates meet obliterating upper three-fourths of vitta; antenna with pedicel orange, first flagellomere gray, about one-third broader than width of parafacial; ocellar triangle black, medium ocellus about one-third larger than posterior ocelli, ocellar setae short. Supravibrissal setae extend about halfway up facial ridge. Intrapostocular area bright silvery; one or more irregular rows of stout black to brown setae below and behind postocular row, the remainder of the occiput with pale setae; upper edge of occiput shining black, also a shining black central vertical stripe, remainder of occiput with whitish microtomentum. Thorax and abdomen purple to bluish-purple dorsum of thorax with heavy whitish microtomentum (Fig. 12). The anterior thoracic spiracles are dark brown and much enlarged, about equal to the size of the humeral callus; proepisternal depression usually with long and pale setae, sometimes tan; rim and disc of upper and lower calypters dark brown. Base of wing, cells and veins darkened, rest of wing hyaline; basicosta brown, tegula black; subcostal sclerite orange with pubescence. Abdomen, T 1 – 3 with whitish tomentum, normally all the T 4 – 5 are polished. Surstylus medium length, curved forward with distal end expanded, cercus medium length and slender (Figs. 55, 56).). Phallus, hypandrium, pre- and postgonite, ejaculatory sclerite, and sternites as in 79, 80, 111 – 113, 131. Female. Characters similar to male except frons 0.28 (0.27 – 0.29 / 4) of head width at narrowest; anterior facet diameter much smaller than males (0.45 mm vs. 0.64 mm), posterior facets about equal to those in males (0.34 mm vs. 0.32 mm).

A specimen from Ecuador was separated from the group, but morphologically appeared identical. This is one of the most distinctive species of Lucilia in the Neotropical Region. Several species of Calliphoridae, belonging to Mesembrinella Giglio- Tos and Paralucilia Brauer & Bergenstamm and some Muscidae were encountered that were superficially very similar to this species. Mariluis (1989) described the immature stages of this species and studied their life history (under Phaenicia).	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFC0FFD5E882EA164939CAD9.taxon	discussion	Discussion. James (1971) described this species from the Bahamas and Cuba. Whitworth (2010) studied a long series of specimens from the Dominican Republic that were similar to this species, but some differences were noted. It was originally thought these specimens belonged to a separate species, but detailed studies of specimens from each group led to the conclusion that differences were intraspecific variation. Four specimens were barcoded, two from the Dominican Republic, and two from the Bahamas (Fig. 161). The barcode data supports the finding, though they are not identical, the two groups are very similar.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFC0FFD4E882EF894C2ECEF6.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Curran (1934 a) listed L. rica from Guyana (as British Guiana), this is almost certainly a misidentification. This species is known only from the West Indies. Lucilia albofusca is found in Guyana and has pale setae on the gena like L. rica; this may be the species he was seeing. Four specimens from Antigua were barcoded and they formed a distinct group (Fig. 161). It would be interesting to compare barcodes of this species from Antigua to those found in Bermuda, morphologically they appear very similar.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

Not known from the West Indies proper (Whitworth 2010), though it was found in Bermuda (Woodley & Hilburn 1994) and in some areas of Central and South America, especially near bigger cities. Whitworth (2010) listed L. sericata in Costa Rica based on a single specimen examined. A reexamination of the specimen revealed it was intermediate between L. sericata and L. cuprina; I now believe it is likely an aberrant L. cuprina.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFC3FFD6E882ED334AE5CBB3.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Two nonparatype male specimens from Española and collected by Ira Wiggins were examined (above). They had been identified as L. setosa by James, but differ from the paratype specimens I examined. The former specimens have a narrower frons with a head to frons ratio of 0.13 / 2 of head width at narrowest, than the five paratype males listed above with broader frons 0.174 (0.16 – 19 / 5). They shared the stout discal setae on T 5 with the paratype specimens from Darwin Island, but they appeared different in body color and microtomentum patterns varied. More material is needed for study from Española to clarify the identity of both the L. setosa - like specimens and the L. pionia - like specimens. Tantawi and Sinclair (2013) have examined additional specimens from the same series collected by Ira Wiggins from Española and identified as L. setosa by James. They placed all the Española Lucilia specimens, other than L. deceptor, under Lucilia sp. near L. pionia.	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

Other species characters should be checked if species identity is uncertain. Six specimens of this species were barcoded; they occurred in a clearly defined group, separate from L. ochricornis (Fig. 161).	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

Gena with dark setae; upper and lower calypters dark in both sexes; basicosta brown; setae below and behind strong postocular row pale and weak; presutural area of thorax usually with a broad band of whitish microtomentum, in some specimens the microtomentum is patchy. This species shares many characters with L. pulverulenta, but the former has pale setae on the gena, while L. woodi has all dark setae on the gena. In lateral view, the surstylus of L. woodi (Fig. 61) is broader than in L. pulverulenta (Fig. 53).	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

102C87C3FFDDFFCAE882EDDA4C00C8A7.taxon	discussion	Discussion. About 20 % of the specimens that keyed to this species had patchy microtomentum on the presutural area of the thorax, not a solid band (similar to Fig. 14), all from Costa Rica. Originally, this was thought to be a separate species, but other characters for both sexes appeared to be very similar. For now, this condition is considered intraspecific variation. A few specimens of Lucilia, primarily from southeastern Brazil keyed to this species, but clearly are not, based on male genitalia. Not enough good material was available to determine if these specimens belong to an undescribed species, or if they are aberrant examples of an existing species. Two specimens that keyed to this species produced barcodes that were widely separated. This is either a vaiable species, or possibly a species complex. Further study is needed to explain the variation observed (Fig. 161).	en	Whitworth, Terry (2014): A revision of the Neotropical species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
