Abstract
The predominantly occurring Calliphoridae include many species of veterinary, forensic and medical importance. Although diagnostic morphological characters are present for taxonomic identification of all described species of Calliphoridae but these morphological characters are complicated because there exists great similarity among these flies. The purpose of accurate identification in larval stages or in incomplete specimens of flies is not possible on the basis of morphological characters only. Therefore, different molecular markers have been applied to resolve the discrepancies regarding identification which include allozyme, RAPD-PCR, PCR-RFLP, sequencing of mitochondrial and nuclear regions etc. These methods can be applied to identify an unknown species also. In this review, an attempt has been made to summarize different molecular work performed on Indian Calliphorids.
