''Chrysomya albiceps'' is a species belonging to the blow fly family, Calliphoridae. It is of great medical and sanitary importance, being associated with myiasis in Africa and America although it plays a more significant role as a predator of other dipteran larvae.〔[〕 The species is also of importance in forensic science and forensic entomology because it is the first insect to come in contact with carrion due to their ability to smell dead animal matter from up to ten miles (16 km) away. ''C. albiceps'' belongs to the same genus as the other myiasis-causing flies ''Chrysomya bezziana'' and ''Chrysomya putoria''. ==Taxonomy== ''Chrysomya albiceps'' is considered conspecific with ''Chrysomya rufifacies'' by some authorities.The two species have a similar biology and the morphological differences are slight (prostigmatic〔:File:Housefly anatomy-key.svg〕 bristle present in'' C. albiceps'' absent in ''C. rufifacies'' (but not all ''rufifacies'' so this character is unreliable)).There are minor differences in larval morphology.The taxonomy of ''C. rufifacies'' is therefore not completely clear, and its relation to ''C. albiceps'' has not been fully determined.
