Whitworth, Terry, 2010, Keys to the genera and species of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of the West Indies and description of a new species of Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy, Zootaxa 2663, pp. 1-35 : 10

Genus Chrysomya Robineau-Desvoidy

Diagnosis. Greater ampulla setose ( Fig. 4 ); T1+2 wholly black, T3 and T4 with only posterior margins black ( Whitworth 2006: fig. 18).

Discussion. Four species of this genus have been introduced into the Neotropical Region from the Old World. Only three species occur in the West Indies: C. albiceps ( Wiedemann, 1819) , C. megacephala ( Fabricius, 1794) , and C. rufifacies ( Macquart, 1844) . The fourth species, Chrysomya putoria ( Wiedemann, 1830) , is not known from the West Indies.
