Synthesiomyia nudiseta (van der Wulp, 1883) is a synanthropic muscid found in tropical and subtropical zones around the world. The larvae of this species are a secondary agent of myiasis with necrophagous habits and play an important role in forensic entomology, as they are used as an indicator of post-mortem interval. Adults can be considered vectors of etiological agents such as Escherichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae. Due to its ability to adapt to different environmental conditions, its high dispersal capacity (shown by its introduction to Europe), its predatory habits in the last larval stage and the difficulty of identifying it, a very important goal is to update our knowledge about this species. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to review the identification, geographical distribution and biology of this species in order to provide better support to investigations involving this fly.
裸厕蝇（van der Wulp，1883）是一种在世界热带和亚热带地区发现的共生蝇类。该物种的幼虫是一种具有腐生性的次要蝇蛆病病原体，在法医昆虫学中起着重要作用，因为它们被用作死后间隔时间的指标。成虫可以被认为是病原微生物如大肠杆菌和痢疾志贺氏菌的载体。由于其适应不同环境条件的能力、高扩散能力（通过引入欧洲来证明）、最后幼虫阶段的捕食习性以及鉴定的困难，一个非常重要的目标是更新我们对该物种的认识。因此，本文的主要目的是回顾该物种的鉴定、地理分布和生物学，以更好地支持涉及这种蝇类的调查。
