Abstract:
Collections of Afrotropical Sarcophagidae were made at a single locality. Seventeen species in two genera were found: Heteronychia with two species, and Sarcophaga with fifteen species. All male flies were identified, together with a few females, wherever possible. The number of male flies collected exceeded that of females. A small proportion of females captured were gravid.
