Preliminary survey and inventory of Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae (Diptera) in the province of Corrientes, Argentina, with new records of species with forensic importance

This is the first study dealing with the diversity and distribution of Ca- lliphoridae and Sarcophagidae (Diptera) inhabiting the province of Corrientes, Ar- gentina. The work was based on samplings at different locations within the Ibera Marshes and Mburucuya National Park, bibliographic records, and the examination of materials deposited in several entomological collections. Seventeen species of Calliphoridae and 27 of Sarcophagidae were listed. Twenty five species are recor- ded for the first time from Corrientes. Four species, Argoravinia brasiliana (Lopes, 1988), Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1830), Oxyvinia excisa (Lopes, 1950) and Peckia (Euboettcheria) pascoensis (Lopes, 1990), are cited for the first time in Ar- gentina. A list of species recorded with forensic importance is also presented.
