In the implementation of OWSF control operations, it is important to determine the geographical origins of such disease\u2010causing species in order to establish whether they derive from endemic or invading populations. Gross morphological and molecular studies have demonstrated the existence of two distinct lineages of this species, one African and the other Asian. Wing morphometry is known to be of substantial assistance in identifying the geographical origin of individuals because it provides diagnostic markers that complement molecular diagnostics. However, placement of the landmarks used in traditional geometric morphometric analysis can be time\u2010consuming and subject to error caused by operator subjectivity. Here we report results of an image\u2010based approach to geometric morphometric analysis for delivering wing\u2010based identifications. Our results indicate that this approach can produce identifications that are practically indistinguishable from more traditional landmark\u2010based results. In addition, we demonstrate that the direct analysis of digital wing images can be used to discriminate between three\n                    <jats:italic>Chrysomya<\/jats:italic>\n                    species of veterinary and forensic importance and between\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>C.\u00a0bezziana<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    genders.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mve.12302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,15]],"date-time":"2018-04-15T21:19:24Z","timestamp":1523827164000},"page":"323-333","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Towards the automated identification of\n                    <i>Chrysomya<\/i>\n                    blow flies from wing images"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7169-5036","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N.","family":"Macleod","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences Natural History Museum  London U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
