Abstract

An annotated checklist of the Sarcophagidae of Jamaica is presented based on material collected from 2018 to 2024, supplemented with specimens in museum collections as well as literature records. The checklist comprises 45 species from 21 genera, of which 23 species from 15 genera were collected during the present study and identified based on male terminalia. The following species are recorded from Jamaica for the first time: Bahamiola orbitalis Dodge, Peckia (Sarcodexia) dominicana (Lopes), Tapacura mariarum Tibana & Lopes, and Lepidodexia (Harpagopyga) diversipes (Coquillet).
