Examples

“Carrion in woods possibly has a distinctive fauna; the commonest flies are Piophila (especially Pnigriceps) and the heleomyzid Neoleria inscripta while Calliphoridae are less in evidence.”

“Trixoscelids are scarcely distinguishable from heleomyzids.”

“The larvae of a small fly called a heleomyzid were present in some numbers on the body, suggesting that the burial probably took place at the end of winter or in early spring because eggs laid before winter would not have survived to produce larvae.”
