A redescription with good illustrations of male and female terminalia was provided by Pont (1973). The immature stages were studied by Skidmore (1985). Biology . Musca domestica is closely associated with man and is commonly found in houses, being attracted to a wide variety of substances for feeding (Skidmore 1985). This fly occurs on all continents except Antarctica, but is native from the Afrotropical and Oriental regions and was probably introduced into the Americas by Europeans during colonial times (Moon 2002). : Published as part of Patitucci, Luciano Damián, Mulieri, Pablo Ricardo, Olea, Maria Sofia & Mariluis, Juan Carlos, 2013, Muscidae (Insecta: Diptera) of Argentina: revision of Buenos Aires province fauna, with a pictorial key to species, pp. 301-347 in Zootaxa 3702 (4) on page 315, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3702.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/247761 : {"references": ["Rodriguez-Fernandez, J.
