Abstract

With the aim of reducing the gap in the knowledge on the Sarcophagidae fauna that occurring in the Northeast region of Brazil, the present work reports the unheard occurrence of two species of the genus Sarcophaga Meigen, 1826 in Bahia. The specimens were sampled in the urban area of the Salvador municipality (Bahia State, Brazil), through two collecting methods: traps using human feces as baits [adapted from the model proposed by Ferreira (1978)], and active sweep with entomological net. The present study brings the first record of Sarcophaga (Bercaea) africa for the Brazilian Northeast region and the first record of Sarcophaga (Liopygia) ruficornis for Bahia State.
