Intra-puparial development of forensically important and myiasis-producing flesh fly Sarcophaga dux (Thomson) (Diptera, Sarcophagidae) was studied. In the laboratory, second-generation pupae (n = 240) were dissected and photographed using digital camera and SEM for more elaborative description. Intrapuparial development of this species was studied with the description of larva-pupa apolysis phase, cryptocephalic pupa, phanerocephalic pupa and pharate adult stages. Total time for pupal development was about 252 h under laboratory conditions.Keywords

An updated list confirms the presence of 134 species of wild mammals in the Western Ghats, India. The superimposed distribution range of all, and threatened species of mammals depicts the potential mammalian key diversity areas for the Western Ghats, which can be prioritized for long-term conservation. These mammalian key diversity areas are confined to the central and the southern Western Ghats. The most crucial key diversity areas for both threatened and all mammalian species occur in Pushpagiri–Talakaveri, the Nilgiri Biosphere, the Anamalai Hills, the Periyar landscape and the Agastyamalai HillsReferences

Understanding the local biodiversity and associated ecosystem services is important for organisms such as muscids (Diptera: Muscidae). This study aimed at the spatial diversity of muscid flies and their bionomics in the Neora Valley National Park, India. The survey was conducted over an altitude variation of 460–3200 masl having relatively high tree diversity. The study area preserves good ecological balance and provides every habitat that is ideal for the survival of muscid flies. The results revealed 31 species under 13 genera of three subfamilies. The highlight is the new records of two species, Limnophora (Heliographa) ceylanica (Emden, 1965) and Neomyia pacifica (Zimin, 1951) from India.Keywords
