Abstract

The current study presents new records and an updated checklist of the genus Sarcophaga (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) for Greece. The records were compiled from published literature, identification of newly collected material obtained through passive (trapping) and active (hand collecting, net sweeping) sampling conducted between 2018 and 2024, and the examination of material from two museum collections: Entomological Collection of the Goulandris Natural History Museum (1983-1987) and the Melissotheque of the Aegean (2004-2024). After the examination of 927 male specimens from 108 localities and the synthesis of the available literature, a total of 72 species distributed across 18 subgenera were documented. Among these, Sarcophaga ferox (Villeneuve, 1908) and Sarcophaga anaces (Walker, 1849) are newly records for Greece, while Sarcophaga beckiana (Lehrer, 1996) represents the first documented occurrence of the species in Europe. The findings represent the most contemporary contribution to the understanding of the species diversity and distribution of the genus Sarcophaga in Greece.

对石棺属（双翅目：石棺科）多样性的贡献：清单、物种分布和希腊新记录。

目前的研究提出了希腊石棺属（双翅目：石棺科）的新记录和更新的清单。这些记录是根据已发表的文献、对2018年至2024年间进行的被动（捕集）和主动（手采集、网清扫）采样获得的新收集材料的鉴定，以及对两个博物馆藏品的材料的检查编制的：古兰德里斯自然历史博物馆的昆虫学藏品（1983-1987）和爱琴海Melissotheque博物馆（2004-2024）。通过对108个地点的927份雄性标本的调查和文献的综合，共记录了18个亚属的72种。其中，Sarcophaga ferox （Villeneuve, 1908）和Sarcophaga anaces （Walker, 1849）是希腊的新记录，而Sarcophaga beckiana （Lehrer, 1996）代表了该物种在欧洲的首次记录。这些发现代表了对希腊石棺属物种多样性和分布的理解的最当代贡献。

期刊介绍： Insects (ISSN 2075-4450) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal of entomology published by MDPI online quarterly. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications related to the biology, physiology and the behavior of insects and arthropods. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
