Abstract

The puparium of Cyphomyia wiedemanni Gerstaecker, 1857 is hereby described for the first time, based on 14 puparia from specimens collected buried in soil and feeding off the roots of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) plants in an area of industrial cassava plantation in Distrito Federal (15°35′30″S, 47°42′30″W), Brazil and, reared in controlled lab conditions until the emergence of adults. Unprecedented data on the occurrence of Cyphomyia wiedemanni in Distrito Federal (new record), and the relationship of the larvae with the cassava plants are discussed.
