Morphological analysis of immature stages of Sarconesia chlorogaster (Wiedemann) (Diptera, Calliphoridae, Toxotarsinae).

Morphological characteristics of the immature of Sarconesia chlorogaster (Wiedemann, 1830) were obtained rearing it on an artificial diet in a temperature controlled chamber set at 27±1ºC, 70±10% RH and 12 hours photophase. The egg, three larval instars and puparium were described and illustrated together with the lairval cephalopharyngeal skeleton. Some characters were studied, for the first time using the scanning electron microscopy.
