Lucilia eximia(Wiedemann, 1819) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a blowfly with medical and forensic importance that shows genetic and color variation, however, these variations have not justified the description of new species. But in forensic entomology an accurate identification of species and subpopulations is crucial. We explored the genetic variation of L. eximiafrom eight localities, in five natural regions in Colombia using two mitochondrial fragments, including the standard locus for insect identification COIand the Cytb-tRNA-Ser-ND1region. We found significant differentiation at COIand Cytb-tRNA-Ser-ND1level, characterizing two lineages and revealing a deep and significant genetic split. High values of FSTand genetic distances supported the two lineages. The origin of the divergence of L. eximiaremains to discover. Examining whether the lineages have diverse ecological and biological behaviors could be a significant impact on the use of L. eximiain forensic and medical science. Our results could have relevant implications for the use of post-mortem interval estimation based on insect evidence, as well as our sequences improve the database used in DNA-based methods for identifying forensically important flies. |
