Abstract

Piophila casei (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Piophilidae) is reported from human cadavers in
two separate forensic cases for the first time in Malaysia. Both bodies were found indoors. The
first case, was that of a male of unknown nationality and age and also contained maggots of the
muscid Ophyra spinigera (Stein). The second case was a female Chinese whose body also
contained other species of maggots but these were not identifiable.
