Abstract
A checklist of 153 flesh fly species (Diptera, Sarcophagidae) recorded to date from Turkey is presented. Updating the list was necessary due to the numerous recent records. Records are listed according to provinces.
Highlights
The first reviews of Turkish Sarcophagidae were compiled by Verves (1986a, b) and Kara and Pape (2002), and they listed a total of 85 and 81 species, respectively
The need to elaborate the checklist of Turkish sarcophagids became evident after the authors presented numerous new records for Turkey and individual Turkish provinces (Verves et al 2017)

Summary
The first reviews of Turkish Sarcophagidae were compiled by Verves (1986a, b) and Kara and Pape (2002), and they listed a total of 85 and 81 species, respectively. The true number of Turkish sarcophagids may well range from 175 to 250 species. For a comprehensive list of papers dealing with Turkish flesh fly fauna, consult Verves et al (2017) or citations below.
