title: Autogeny in Piophila casei (Diptera, Piophilidae).
abstract: Two long-adapted laboratory strains of Piophila casei originating from Prague were found to be autogenous. However, protein-deprived females compared to protein-fed ones showed lower fecundity and fertility, and somewhat retarded oviposition extended over a longer period.
