Abstract
ABSTRACT We present an annotated list of 22 species of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and one species of cluster flies (Polleniidae) known from the state of Mississippi, with one additional blow fly species likely to occur there based on a record in neighboring Alabama. New state records include five species from the subfamily Calliphorinae: Angioneura flavescens (Reinhard), Angioneura obscura (Townsend), Opsodexia bicolor (Coquillett), and Opsodexia nox (Downes), and Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann). The number and density of taxa per 100,000 km2 is consistent with that of blow fly taxa recorded for other states across the contiguous United States.
期刊介绍:
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
