| Abstract | Species identification is an essential step in the progress and completion of work in several areas of
biological knowledge, but it is not a simple process. Due to the close phylogenetic relationship of certain
species, morphological characters are not always sufficiently distinguishable. As a result, it is necessary to
combine several methods of analysis that contribute to a distinct categorization of taxa. This study aimed
to raise diagnostic characters, both morphological and molecular, for the correct identification of species
of the genus Chrysomya (Diptera: Calliphoridae) recorded in the New World, which has continuously
generated discussion about its taxonomic position over the last century. A clear example of this situation
was the first record of Chrysomya rufifacies in Brazilian territory in 2012. However, the morphological
polymorphism and genetic variability of Chrysomya albiceps studied here show that both species (C.
rufifacies and C. albiceps) share very similar character states, leading to misidentification and subsequent
registration error of species present in our territory. This conclusion is demonstrated by the authors, based
on a review of the material deposited in major scientific collections in Brazil and subsequent molecular
and phylogenetic analysis of these samples. Additionally, we have proposed a new taxonomic key to
separate the species of Chrysomya found on the American continent, taking into account a larger number
of characters beyond those available in current literature. | pt_BR |
