The study of carrion fauna associated with buried human corpses from a forensic perspective could provide useful information in criminal investigations. Insects and other arthropods remains sampled of 44 legally exhumed infant skeletons from La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina). They were identified at different taxonomic levels depending on the state of preservation. The specific diversity, abundance and frequency were analyzed and each taxon was assigned to the hypothetical colonization sequence: burial colonization, post-exhumation contamination at cemetery deposit or soil fauna. The phorid Dohrniphora sp. is mentioned for the first time in Argentina as carrion fauna of underground colonization, and the assemblage of Dohrniphora sp., Megaselia scalaris and Hydrotaea aenescens is proposed as indicator of buried cadavers. These findings provide new useful data to be applied in forensic entomology research.
从法医角度研究与埋葬的人类尸体相关的腐肉动物群，可为刑事调查提供有用信息。对从拉普拉塔（阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯）合法挖掘出的44具婴儿骨骼样本中的昆虫和其他节肢动物遗骸进行了研究。根据保存状态，在不同分类水平上对它们进行了鉴定。分析了物种多样性、丰度和频率，并将每个分类单元分配到假设的定殖序列：埋葬定殖、墓地沉积物中的挖掘后污染或土壤动物群。蝇蛹金蝇属首次在阿根廷被提及为地下定殖的腐肉动物群，并且提出蝇蛹金蝇属、黑腹果蝇和铜绿蝇的组合作为埋葬尸体的指标。这些发现为法医昆虫学研究提供了新的有用数据。
