摘要

Decaying corpses constitute a relevant source of food resources for a wide range of insects classified as necrophagous. Several blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) species are necrophagous and, for this reason, comprise two of the most relevant families of insects in forensics. Obtaining reliable postmortem interval (PMI) estimates based on entomological traces is of great importance in investigative processes. We present a case report of PMI estimation based on entomological evidence collected in a young woman’s corpse found in a wild area from southeastern Brazil, using two Diptera species: Hemilucilia segmentaria (Fabricius) (Calliphoridae) and Peckia (Euboettcheria) anguilla (Curran & Walley) (Sarcophagidae). Additionally, we report for the first time P. (E.) anguilla rearing in a decaying corpse.
