Abstract

Objectives

First time from North India, the immature stages of a species of the genus Phylloteles Loew, 1844, are described, with a redescription of the adults. The research explored the morphological characteristics and distribution of Phylloteles hyalipennis (Baranov, 1934) from India. This study aims to enhance species identification and potentially revise classification of this scientifically important group.

Methods

Gravid females of this species were collected from the decomposing chicken meat from the Union territory Jammu and Kashmir (India), and larvae were reared under optimal conditions to get a pure colony. The immature stages were examined under light as well as scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Results

The results included descriptions of adult morphology, systematic classification, and detailed analysis of immature stages. The Pseudocephalon, maxillary palpus, anterior and posterior spiracles, and variations of thoracic and abdominal segments, anal region, and details of cephaloskeleton of immatures were utilized as key characters for species identification in case of immature stages and presented along with illustrations.

Conclusion

The study provides valuable insights into the poorly understood larval morphology of Miltogramminae, specifically in Oriental taxa. This information can stipulate new characteristics for species identification in case of immature stages and enhances systematics of Indian Sarcophagidae.

印度北部毛毡蛉（Baranov, 1934）新记录（双翅目：毛毡蛉科），包括幼期形态、生活史和扫描电镜研究

目的首次在印度北部描述了1844年Phylloteles Loew属的一种的未成熟阶段，并对其成虫进行了重新描述。研究了印度Phylloteles hyalipennis （Baranov, 1934）的形态特征和分布。本研究旨在加强物种鉴定，并有可能修订这一科学上重要群体的分类。方法从印度联邦领土查谟和克什米尔地区的分解鸡肉中采集该物种的妊娠雌性，在最佳条件下饲养幼虫，获得纯菌落。在光镜和扫描电镜下对未成熟阶段进行了观察。结果成虫形态描述，系统分类，未成熟期详细分析。在未成熟阶段，将假头、上颌须、前后气门、胸腹节段变化、肛门区和头部骨骼细节作为物种鉴定的关键特征，并附有插图。结论本研究为了解尚不清楚的粉螨幼虫形态，特别是东洋分类群提供了有价值的见解。这些信息可以为未成熟阶段的物种鉴定规定新的特征，并增强印度麻蝇科的分类学。
