Abstract

Three species of Old World blow flies have recently become established in Brazil and one other species in Costa Rica. These species feed on decaying animal matter and have been implicated in myiasis of man and animals. These facts are publicized and additional records are given that indicate that the flies have made their entry into the Western Hemisphere many times and that at least one species has progressed northwards as far as southern Mexico.
