Resumen
JAUME-SCHINKEL, Santiago y MENGUAL, Ximo. New geographic distribution of Chrysomya megacephala, the Oriental latrine blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae), in Mexico using citizen science and social media. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2022, vol.93, e934166. Epub 31-Jul-2023. ISSN 2007-8706. https://doi.org/10.22201/ib.20078706e.2022.93.4166.
In the present study we discuss the distribution of the exotic species Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) in Mexico, combining data from natural history collections, social media and citizen science. The oriental latrine blow fly is recorded for the first time in 16 Mexican states. Additionally, we provide an easy-to-follow guide to compare this species with similar looking species recorded from Mexico to help with its identification.
