New records of Sarcophagidae and Phoridae (Insecta: Diptera) associated with scorpions in Panama (Arachnida: Scorpiones)

Abstract

Very little is known about insect parasitoids or scavengers of scorpions. In this study we found three cases of endoparasitoidism by Sarcophagidae (Diptera) in three species of Tityus Koch: Lepidodexia sp. on Tityus festae Borelli and larvae of unidentified flesh flies on Tityus jaimei Miranda, Bermúdez, Flórez, Armas and Tityus cerroazul Lourenço. We recorded a case of scavenging by Puliciphora fenestrata Borgmeier on T. jaimei.
