Females Musca domestica and M. autumnalis have more greyish and darker abdomen than corresponding males. The two species can be distinguished by they frons/frontal vitta width. See the work made by Joke here. In males of Musca domestica, the eyes are more distant than in M. autumnalis. In females of Musca domestica, the frontal vitta is very wide, well more than in M. autumnalis. Stephane. |
