Larval morphology is documented using both light and scanning electron microscopy for all three instars of the muscid fly Atherigona orientalis (Schiner), which is a species of known sanitary and forensic importance found in tropical and subtropical areas of all biogeographic regions. The unpaired sclerite in a form of a spicule is reported herein in the second and the third instar larvae. Occurrence of this sclerite was hitherto unknown in the second instar larvae of Muscidae and was only known from the third instar of several species, however not in a form of a spicule. Our study is the first report of the occurrence of the "sensory organ X" in all three larval instars of a species representing the family Muscidae. The bubble membrane, previously known only from third instar cyclorrhaphan larvae, is reported herein for the first time in the second instar. Characters allowing for discrimination of A. orientalis larvae from other forensically important Muscidae are summarised.
利用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜记录了东方胃蝇（Atherigona orientalis (Schiner)）所有三龄幼虫的形态，东方胃蝇是一种在所有生物地理区域的热带和亚热带地区发现的具有已知卫生和法医重要性的物种。本文报道了在第二和第三龄幼虫中存在呈针状的不成对骨片。这种骨片在蝇科第二龄幼虫中迄今尚属未知，仅在几个物种的第三龄幼虫中已知，但不是针状形式。我们的研究是首次报道在代表蝇科的一个物种的所有三龄幼虫中出现“感觉器官X”。本文首次报道了仅在第三龄环裂亚目幼虫中已知的泡状膜在第二龄幼虫中出现。总结了能够区分东方胃蝇幼虫与其他具有法医重要性的蝇科幼虫的特征。
