A new species of Sarcophagidae in the genus Helicobia is described based on specimens obtained from pig carcasses in northeastern Brazil. This is the first record of this species reared from a vertebrate carcass.
A new species of Sarcophagidae (Diptera) in the genus Helicobia Coquillett, Helicobia neuzalmeidae sp. nov., is described based on two male specimens obtained from pig carcasses in savanna-like vegetation in northeastern Brazil (state of Maranhao) during a forensic study. The holotype was obtained from a larva that abandoned the pig carcass to pupate, whereas the paratype was collected with a trap placed above the cage containing the carcass. This is the first record of a Helicobia species reared from a vertebrate carcass.
