Following a correspondence with Piluca Alvarez about identifying the Spanish species of Lucilia, I have produced a quick and dirty key for the 7 species listed for Spain in FE. It's basically just a synthesis of Whitworth, Falk and Rognes, focusing on the characters that are easiest to see.
The species covered are:
richardsi, sericata, cuprina, silvarum, ampullacea, caesar and
illustris. The two pairs that are the most difficult to distinguish, especially from photos, are
sericata / cuprina and
caesar / illustris.
If anyone is interested in having a copy, please PM me with your email address and I will send it.
