Abstract
We present an annotated list of 22 species of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and one species of cluster flies (Polleniidae) known from the state of Mississippi, with one additional blow fly species likely to occur there based on a record in neighboring Alabama. New state records include five species from the subfamily Calliphorinae: Angioneura flavescens (Reinhard), Angioneura obscura (Townsend), Opsodexia bicolor (Coquillett), and Opsodexia nox (Downes), and Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann). The number and density of taxa per 100,000 km2 is consistent with that of blow fly taxa recorded for other states across the contiguous United States.
