Abstract
In June 17,1980,50 flesh fly larvae were detected at the right eye of a female neonate who was born at a hospital in Kurume City in the day before. The patient was suffering from an acute conjunctivitis due to the infection of the larvae. After the larvae were removed from the eye, the symptom disappeared rapidly. The larvae were about 1.6mm long, milky white. The specimens were identified as first instar larvae of Parasarcophaga similis (Meade, 1876) judging from its morphological characters.
