A species-group framework to unravel blowfly diversity: integrative revision of the Calliphora clarki-group (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Listed in GBIF

Description

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Johnston, Nikolas P., Szpila, Krzysztof, Pape, Thomas, Meiklejohn, Kelly A., Foley, Liam B., Wallman, James F. (2025): A species-group framework to unravel blowfly diversity: integrative revision of the Calliphora clarki-group (Diptera: Calliphoridae). European Journal of Taxonomy 989: 94-118, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.989.2887, URL: europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2887/13093 Abstract.

The Australian Calliphorinae represent a diverse division of the global blowfly fauna and a broad range of life histories. Past research focused on the carrion-breeding species and there remains a paucity of research on species with other life histories. This study is the first in a series of revisionary works that combine morphology with mitochondrial DNA to revise the entire Australian Calliphorinae.

A new species-group system for the subfamily is proposed, along with descriptions and revisions of species within the newly established Calliphora clarki- group. Three new species are described: C. ampyx sp. nov., C. ignicera sp. nov. and C. niveata sp. nov. Keys are provided to the Australian Calliphorinae species groups and to species within the clarki -group.

Species concepts are supported by molecular delimitation analysis using the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 gene.
