Remarks.
This species is known as the “secondary screw-worm fly” (
Johnson 1924
).
Baumgartner & Greenberg (1984)
observed that populations of
Co. macellaria
were suppressed as populations of
Chrysomya albiceps
increased in
Peru
. Throughout the New World, studies have shown that as introduced species of
Chrysomya
increase, sympatric populations of the native calliphorid
Co. macellaria
decrease (
Wells & Kurahashi 1997
). The latter species was first recorded from the islands in 1835 and last collected in 1985 (
Tantawi & Sinclair 2013
), which overlaps with the first records of
Chrysomya
.
