Abstract

Indochinese calliphorid flies (91 species including one undetermined sp.) are reviewed. Lists of new localities, distributions, and ecological data are also given. Two new species, Verticia indochinica sp. nov. and V. guatei sp. nov., are described and illustrated. Thirty-nine species are recorded for the first time from the area of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Keys are provided for the identification of 91 species recorded from the area, excluding the following seven nominal taxa in need of revision : Phumosia violacea (Seguy, 1925), Isomyia viridana (Townsend, 1917), I. cybele (Seguy, 1949), I. didieri (Seguy, 1949), I. inops (Seguy, 1949), I. proxima. (Seguy, 1946), and Metallea minuta Seguy, 1946. One new synonymy is established, based on type-examination : Bengalia xanthopyga Senior-White, 1924 (=B. asymmetria Kurahashi and Tumrasvin, 1979, syn. nov.).
