Studies on male genitalia of sarcophagidae (Diptera) based on scanning electron microscope observations

Abstract

Male genitalia of Oxyvinia exicisa (Lopes), Oxysarcodexia thomax (Walker), O. fluminensis Lopes, Sarcodexia lambens (Wiedemann), Peckia chrysostoma (Wiedemann) and Liopygia ruficornis (Fabricius) were studied based on scanning electron microscope photography. Some important details were evidentiated with this method.As genitálias dos machos de Oxyvinia excisa (Lopes), Oxysarcodexia tornax (Walker), O. fluminensis Lopes, sarcodexia lambens (Wiedemann), Peckia chrysostoma (Wiedemann) e Liopygia ruficornis (Fabricius) foram estudadas com base em fotografias de microscópio de varredura. Alguns detalhes importantes foram evidenciados por este método.
