A key to the Australian Sarcophagidae (Diptera) with special emphasis on Sarcophaga (sensu lato)

Flesh flies Sarcophaginae morphology male terminalia

Abstract

The Australian Sarcophagidae (Diptera) currently comprise 84 species, classified into ten genera from the subfamilies Miltogramminae and Sarcophaginae. A key is provided to the Australian sarcophagids, allowing for separation into sub-families and genera, along with the identification of all species of Sarcophaga (sensu lato). A comprehensive database of illustrations and photographs of male terminalia, as well as updated biological information, is given for each species of Sarcophaga s.l.
