Andrzej This (Oeceoptoma thoracica, Sepsidae) is an interesting association as these insects and Heleomyzidae are of forensic importance. They are used to help establish PMI (Post mortem interval or time of death. The immage is very useful as it shows the characteristic costal spines found in this family- Heleomyzidae.Robert Edited by Robert Nash on 18-05-2006 11:36 |

A lateral aspect is needed for better examination  The best ID is to catch the male also and prepare the genital part. Andrzej |

Andrzej, Robert: many thanks for your information. As regards a lateral view, maybe there's one of acceptable quality, so I'll check soon. |
