DNA barcoding allows identification of European Fanniidae (Diptera) of forensic interest

Various arthropods have a close association with animal and human bodies. The aim of forensic entomology is to study the association of insects with cadavers and their biology for subsequent application in forensic practice [1]. Particularly, the use of entomological evidence allows for an accurate estimation of the post-mortem interval (PMI), which often coincides with the period of insect activity [2]. Thus, accurate species identification is a prerequisite for any further analysis of the collected material [2,3].
