We reported on the hairy maggot of Chrysomya villeneuvi Patton, collected from a human corpse in Thailand. Although the general morphology of the third instar closely resembled the more common hairy maggot blow fly, Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart), the spines along the tubercles of each body segment could be used as a feature to distinguish between these species, with those of C. villeneuri bearing sharp-ended spines that encircle the entire tubercle. Not only has the resemblance of a hairy appearance between C. villeneuvi and C. rufifacies larvae been documented but also their similarity in predacious feeding behavior. The differentiation between these two species is necessary for post-mortem interval estimation in the corpse.
我们报告了在泰国从一具人类尸体上采集到的维氏金蝇（Chrysomya villeneuvi Patton）的多毛幼虫。虽然三龄幼虫的总体形态与更常见的红头丽蝇（Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart)）非常相似，但每个体节瘤上的刺可作为区分这两个物种的一个特征，维氏金蝇的刺呈尖锐状，环绕整个瘤。不仅记录了维氏金蝇和红头丽蝇幼虫在外观上多毛的相似之处，还记录了它们在捕食行为上的相似性。区分这两个物种对于尸体的死后间隔时间估计是必要的。
