Biology: In previous works, P. (E.) florencioi was described as an urban avoider species that is attracted to vertebrate carcasses or rotten animal tissues (Linhares 1981; Dias et al. 1984 a, c; Mendes & Linhares 1993). This species showed higher abundance during winter in Belo Horizonte, Brazil (Dias et al. 1984b). It is considered necrophagous and was successfully reared from rodent cadavers and rotten animal tissues (Mendes & Linhares 1993; D’Almeida 1994).
