Megaselia scalaris (Loew), a scuttle fly, is a fly species of medical and forensic importance. For use in forensic investigation, fly specimens found to associate with human corpses have to be identified at species level. Herein, we present the morphology of the puparia of the above fly species using scanning electron microscopy. The characteristic of the intersegmental spines along the dorsal and lateral segments and sculpture of the pupal respiratory horn of this puparia may be useful in future studies, to distinguish it from other closely related species.
黑腹果蝇（Loew），一种蚤蝇，是具有医学和法医学重要性的蝇类物种。用于法医调查时，发现与人类尸体相关的蝇类标本必须在物种水平上进行鉴定。在此，我们使用扫描电子显微镜展示了上述蝇类物种蛹的形态。该蛹沿着背段和侧段的节间刺的特征以及蛹呼吸角的纹饰可能在未来研究中有助于将其与其他近缘物种区分开来。
