Among the insects which are typically considered of forensic interest, the family Piophilidae (Diptera) is frequently cited because of its common occurrence on carcasses in different stages of decay. Piophilids are mainly known from the cosmopolitan species Piophila casei, which can be also a major pest for the food industry and an agent of myiasis. However, many other species of Piophilidae occur frequently on carrion, including human corpses; hence, it is essential to ensure a careful identification of specimens. Reviews of relevant published information about the Piophilidae species of potential forensic use, including recent interesting records, are presented.
在通常被认为具有法医学意义的昆虫中，皮蝇科（双翅目）经常被提及，因为它们在不同腐烂阶段的尸体上很常见。皮蝇科主要以世界性种皮蝇尸壳种为代表，该种也是食品工业的主要害虫和蝇蛆病的病原体。然而，还有许多其他种类的皮蝇科也经常在尸体上出现，包括人类尸体；因此，确保对标本进行仔细鉴定是至关重要的。本文综述了皮蝇科潜在法医学用途的相关文献信息，包括最近的有趣记录。
