Abstract

Flies of the Calliphoridae family are considered very important in forensic entomology and public health. The introduction of exotic flies in a new range can affect natural sucesional path observed in dead corpses. In this paper, the registration of two species of exotic flies: Chrysomya rufifacies and C. putoria in Venezuela is documented. The specimens were duly processed: species based on diagnostic characters were identified and deposited in specially authorized insectaries at the Venezuelan Institute of Scientific Research. With these records the presence of four species of exotic flies to Venezuela is confirmed.
