Calliphoridae
This worldwide family contains more than 1,300 species (
Evenhuis & Pape 2020
), the fewest in the Neotropics where less than 100 species are known (
James 1970
).

) described five Palaearctic, ten Neotropical, five
Oriental
and one Afrotropical nominal species in his “
Stirps
Muscinae
”. The family
Calliphoridae
was proposed by
Brauer & Bergenstamm (1889)
. Six of these are currently considered as valid, six as junior synonyms and nine as doubtful or had not been included in any recent catalog (

). Rondani proposed one new replacement name for species previously described and named by Macquart. Except for two species, which have presumably been lost, the
type
material has been recovered for all nominal species and is distributed among the MZUF (six), MSNG (six), MZUN (four), MSNC (two), MRSN (two), MSNPV (one), and NHMW (one).
