Abstract:
The distinct and species-specific chemical compounds found on the insect cuticle have demonstrated effectiveness in vari¬ous applications, including species identification. Accurate identification of fly species becomes challenging when only damaged empty puparial cases are available, making it difficult to use traditional morphological and molecular identifi¬cation methods. This study aimed to analyze the chemical compositions of puparial exuviae from three forensically and medically important fly species; Lucilia sericata, Chrysomya albiceps, and Chrysomya marginalis. Gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was employed to assess the chemical profiles of these exuviae and evaluate their accuracy in identifying Dipteran insects. The study revealed the presence of twelve classes of chemical compounds across the three species, with retention times ranging from 18.78 to 35.03. A total of forty-two compounds with chain lengths ranging from C12 to C45 were identified. The profiles of Ch. albiceps and L. sericata displayed similarities, with alcohol being the most abundant compound (28.6%) in L. sericata. However, alkanes, including n-alkanes, branched alkanes, and cycloalkanes, constituted the main components of the cuticles in the three species, with Ch. marginalis displaying the highest percentage. These findings represent an initial step towards utilizing hydrocarbon composition as a practical tool for distinguishing between forensic species in Egypt.
