To be or not to be a valid genus: the systematic position of Ophyra R.‐D. revised (Diptera: Muscidae)

2017-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Ophyra Robineau‐Desvoidy is one of the better‐studied genera of the family Muscidae (Diptera). The larvae of species of this genus feed on highly decomposed organic matter of various origins, and may reveal predatory behaviour as they mature. These feeding habits, combined with the widespread distribution and close association with human dwellings of some species, give the genus commercial and medico‐legal importa...
