AB - In recent years there have been an increasing number of studies on carrion flies due to the medical importance and
development of forensic entomology. Knowledge of the species involved in a particular space and time is essential
to apply forensic techniques. An updated checklist of carrion flies (Diptera, Calyptratae) from the Valle de Aburrá,
Antioquia, Colombia is presented as a result of one year sampling using Van Someren Rydon traps. Ninety four
species were identified (14 Calliphoridae, 12 Fanniidae, 20 Muscidae, 48 Sarcophagidae), fourteen of these are
new records from Colombia, twenty five are new records for the province, one Fannid is a new species, and the first
neotropical record of Ravinia querula is reported; finally species diversity of the community and faunistics aspects
of some species are discussed.
