Chrysomya rufifacies
''Chrysomya rufifacies'' is a species belonging to the blow fly family, Calliphoridae, and is most significant in the field of forensic entomology due to its use in establishing or altering ''post mortem ''intervals. The common name for the species is the hairy maggot blow fly, and it belongs to the genus ''Chrysomya'', which is commonly referred to as the Old World screwworms. This genus includes other species such as ''Chrysomya putoria'' and ''Chrysomya bezziana'', which are agents of myiasis. ''C. rufifacies'' prefers very warm weather and has a relatively short lifecycle. It is widely distributed geographically and prefers to colonize large carcasses over small ones. The species commonly has a greenish metallic appearance and is important medically, economically, and forensically.
==Taxonomy==
''Chrysomya rufifacies'' was first described by the French entomologist Macquart. Its specific epithet is derived from the Latin words ''rufus'' 'reddish' and ''facies'' 'face'. Some taxonomists believe ''C. rufifacies'' is conspecific with ''Chrysomya albiceps'' due to biological, ecological, distributional, and morphological similarities. The larvae of both species are very difficult to distinguish, and only a minor difference exists between the imagos. A prostigmatic bristle is said to be present in '' C. albiceps'' and absent in ''C. rufifacies'', but it is not present in all ''C. albicepes'' or it is very reduced, so this character is unreliable. The status of ''C. rufifacies'' is not completely clear, and its relation to ''C. albiceps'' has not been fully determined.〔Baumgartner D. L.
