The Sarcophagidae comprises approximately 2,700 species, grouped into three subfamilies and over 108 genera ( Pape 1996; Pape & Dahlem 2010). The monophyly of this family has been well established based on molecular studies ( Yan et al. 2021). Several authors have contributed to the knowledge of the family in Chile, such as Lopes
