The first case of application of forensic entomology in the Brazilian Amazonia is described. The corpses of 26 men were found in the rainforest in Rondonia State, Brazil. Fly larvae collected on the bodies during autopsy were identified as Paralucilia fulvinota (Diptera, Calliphoridae). No data or specimens were collected at the crime scene. At the laboratory, the larvae developed into pupae in 58 h and into adults in 110.5 h. The total development time for P. fulvinota was measured in field experiments inside the forest. The age of the larvae when collected from the bodies was estimated as the difference between the time required for them to become adults and the total development time for this species. The estimated age of the maggots and the minimum postmortem interval was 5.7 days.
本文描述了法医昆虫学在巴西亚马逊地区的首例应用情况。在巴西朗多尼亚州的雨林中发现了26名男性的尸体。尸检时从尸体上采集的蝇幼虫被鉴定为黄斑拟丽蝇（双翅目，丽蝇科）。在犯罪现场未收集到任何数据或标本。在实验室中，幼虫在58小时内发育成蛹，并在110.5小时内发育成成虫。黄斑拟丽蝇的总发育时间是在森林内的野外实验中测定的。从尸体上采集时幼虫的年龄是通过其发育为成虫所需时间与该物种总发育时间的差值来估算的。蛆虫的估计年龄和最短死后间隔时间为5.7天。
