| description | Diptera is one of the major groups of insects that contribute to organic matter decomposition, including several species of Calliphoridae and Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart) has been recorded as the principal species that colonizes carrion in the Comarca Lagunera of Coahuila. An experiment was conducted during spring and summer of 2010 in order to study the larval development as well as to know the complete life cycle of C. rufifacies. It was divided in two stages at Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro-Unidad Laguna facilities. In the first stage 4 chicken carcasses were used, whereas in the second, 4 pig heads were used as necrotraps. Pregnant females of C. rufifacies were collected, whichwere reared to obtained eggs and study the biological cycle until adult emergence. Five larvae specimens were measured every four hours, recording its length and diameter and instar changes. Temperature in the breeding room was recorded to calculate degree days accumulated (DDA) for this species. During spring C. rufifacies accumulated 192.57 DD while in the summer it accumulated 190.69 DD, these amounts were necessary to complete the cycle from the egg to adult emergence. During spring and summer C. rufifacies pupated in 96 hours after egg hatching. The results of this study contribute to knowledge of C. rufifacies biology as well as increasing the sarcosaprophagous fauna database of the Comarca Lagunera, especially in Torreon, Coahuila. |

Los dípteros conforman uno de los principales grupos de insectos descomponedores de materia orgánica, destacando varias especies de la familia Calliphoridae y Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart)ha sido consignada como la principal especie califórida colonizadora de carroña en la Comarca Lagunera de Coahuila. Durante primavera y verano del año 2010 se estableció un experimento para estudiar el desarrollo larval así como conocer el ciclo de vida de C. rufifacies. Éste estuvo dividido en dos etapas en las instalaciones de la Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro-Unidad Laguna. Enla primera etapa se usaron cuatro carcasas de pollo, mientras que en la segunda fueron usadas cuatro cabezas de cerdo como necrotrampas. Se colectaron hembras grávidas de C. rufifacies, las cuales fueron criadas y alimentadas para obtener huevos y estudiar el ciclo de desarrollo hasta adulto. Se midieron cinco larvas cada cuatro horas, tanto en longitud como en diámetro, además de registrar el cambio de estadío en cada medición. Se registró la temperatura del cuarto de cría diariamente y se calcularon lasUnidades Calor Acumuladas (UCA) necesarias para completar el ciclo de C. rufifacies. En primavera C. rufifacies necesitó 192. 57 UC y en verano 190.69 UC para pasar de huevo hasta la emergencia deladulto. En ambas etapas la larva de esta especie pupó a las 96 horas después de la eclosión (HDDE). Con los resultados de este trabajo se contribuye al conocimiento de la biología de C. rufifacies así como también se incrementa la base de datos sobre fauna sarosaprófaga de la Comarca Lagunera y en especial de Torreón, Coahuila.
