- Lucilia coeruleiviridis Macquart Figs. 40–41 Lucilia coeruleiviridis Macquart, 1855: 522 Phaenicia caeruleiviridis: Hall, 1948: 232 Lucilia coeruleiviridis: Whitworth, 2006: 720 Diagnosis. Male frons 0.023 (0.015–0.030)/ 8 of head width; female frons 0.25 (0.24–0.26)/ 4. Rear of the head has a row of irregular black setae behind the postocular row. Basicosta pale; upper calypter pale in both sexes, lower light tan in males and pale in females; only rear edge of T 4 and T 5 polished. Male genitalia in lateral view with surstylus slender and curved forward, narrowing evenly to distal end; cercus narrowing distally to a point, curved forward, about equal in length to surstylus. In posterior view, surstylus curved inward, cercus tapering from a broad base to a point (Figs. 40–41). Distribution. No specimens were seen in collections from the region, but James (1970) listed it as occurring in Cuba. It is common in southeastern USA and I also have seen it from Guatemala. Comment. Hall (1948) misspelled the species name as “ caeruleiviridis ” in his publication. In Macquart’s (1855) original publication, the way the word is printed in the diagnosis with the o and e joined as “oe” may have led to confusion about spelling.
