Calliphora alaskensis
Calliphora alaskensis is a species of blow fly in the family Calliphoridae, first described by Shannon in 1923 with the basionym Steringomyia alaskensis. A subspecies, C. alaskensis echinosa, was described by Grunin in 1970 but is now considered a synonym. As a member of the genus Calliphora, it belongs to a group of flies commonly known as blue bottle flies that are significant in forensic entomology due to their role in decomposition.
