Thank you very much for all the information.

I am doing my Ph-D on forensic entomology in the centre of Spain. Sampling dead pigs is how i collected a single male of C. furcata among more than 42.000 specimens of many other arthropod families.

It is curious how it became identified: i send it by chance or "mistake" to Verner Michelsen together with some Anthomyiids thinking that it belonged to this family. He knew the species very well so finding this Piophilid among the Anthomyiids was a curious coincidence.:o Don?t you think?

We are now preparing a report about this new record of the species.

Thank everyone again. John i am specially grateful to you for bothering with my questions and doubts :D
