Abstract

Two experiments were carried out in campus II of National Research Institute of Amazonia (INPA), Manaus, Amazonas, one in the rainy and the other in the less rainy (dry) season. The aim of this research was determination the time of decomposition and species of Calliphoridae associated, as well as the time of development without temperature control . Were used pig carcasses with 25 Kg. The time of decomposition was of eight days in the rainy season and of seven days in the dry season. Were collected seven species of Calliphoridae: Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819); Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794); Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius, 1775); Hemilucilia segmentaria (Fabricius, 1805); Hemilucilia semidiaphana (Rondani, 1850); Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann, 1819) and Paralucilia paraensis (Mello, 1969), among them just Cochliomyia macellaria and Hemilucilia segmentaria immature stages not were collected. The development time from egg to adult for L. eximia was 19,4 days in the rainy season and 14,3 days in the dry season; for H. segmentaria it was 11,5 days and 10,7 days respectively; for C. albiceps it was 14,5 days and 9,4 days respectively, for C. megacephala it was 10,7 days and 9,4 days in rainy and dry season respectively and P. paraensis was collected only dry season and your development time from egg to adult is 11,8 days. This is a first record of the time of development of P. paraensis and this the first collection record in urban area. The species with forensic potential are: C. albiceps; C. megacephala; H. segmentaria; L. eximia and P. paraensis.
