The fauna of blowflies (Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae) in three localities of primary
Amazon forest coverage in the Amazonas-Negro interfluvial region was assessed. A total of
5066 blowflies were collected, with Chloroprocta idiodea being the most abundant species
(66.3%). A difference in species richness between the localities ZF2 and Novo Airão was
observed. Comparison among sampled sites revealed no considerable variation in fauna
composition, except for the species Eumesembrinella benoisti (Séguy 1925) and Hemilucilia …
