Entomological News 116 (5), 305-308
Abstract: Calliphoridae are of medical, veterinary, and forensic importance. No statewide checklist of calliphorids exists for South Carolina. Collections of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) from South Carolina were obtained from beef liver, carrion, feces, the Clemson University Arthropod Collection, and the Georgia Museum of Natural History. Additional records were obtained from published literature. We report collections from 41 of 46 counties in South Carolina. The collections revealed 20 species, representing 11 genera. We report new state records for Calliphora terraenovae Macquart from Charleston County, Chrysomya ruffacies (Macquart) from Pickens County, Bufolucilia silvarum Townsend from Dillon County, and Opsodexia bicolor (Coquillett) from Aiken County.
