Necrophagous Diptera are the most important group of insects used for the purposes of forensic entomology. While the most utilized fly family in this context is the family Calliphoridae, there are several other families that can be of great importance during real-case investigations. This article analyzes the necrophagous flies of all families recorded from 160 real cases in Switzerland between 1993 and 2007. A total of 56 species belonging to 16 families was identified with Calliphoridae being the most dominant family (90.63% of all cases), followed by Muscidae (26.25%), Sarcophagidae (19.38%), Phoridae (14.38%), and Fanniidae (12.50%). For specimens that were difficult to identify morphologically, a new PCR primer has been specifically designed for the amplification of a short, informative COI barcode in degraded museum samples of forensically important Diptera taxa. The richest family in terms of species was the family Muscidae with 16 species. Fannia fuscula (Fallen) and Fannia monilis (Haliday) were recorded from human cadavers for the first time. The study highlights the importance of different fly families in forensic investigation, enhancing our comprehension of their prevalence and dispersion in real cases in Central Europe. The results pave the way for additional exploration, especially regarding the involvement of less frequently observed species in forensic entomology.

所有昆虫都很重要：瑞士 1993 年至 2007 年 160 个昆虫学案例回顾——第一部分（双翅目）

食尸双翅目是法医昆虫学中最重要的昆虫类群。虽然在这种情况下最常用的蝇科是丽蝇科，但还有其他几个科在实际案例调查中也非常重要。本文分析了1993年至2007年间瑞士记录的160个真实案例中所有科的食尸蝇。共鉴定出16科56种，其中丽蝇科是最主要的科（占所有案例的90.63%），其次是蝇科(26.25%)、石蝇科 (19.38%)、蝇科 (14.38%) 和蝇科 (12.50%)。对于形态学上难以识别的标本，专门设计了一种新的 PCR 引物，用于在法医学上重要的双翅目类群的降解博物馆样本中扩增简短的、信息丰富的 COI 条形码。物种最丰富的科是蝇科，有16种。首次从人类尸体中记录到 Fannia fuscula（Fallen）和 Fannia monilis（Haliday）。该研究强调了不同蝇科在法医调查中的重要性，增强了我们对其在中欧真实案例中的流行和分布的理解。这些结果为进一步的探索铺平了道路，特别是关于法医昆虫学中不常见观察到的物种的参与。
