The phylogenetic systematics of the miltogrammatine flies (Diptera, Sarcophagidae) of the world.
A new system of Miltogrammatinae is proposed. Forty-six characters were coded in plesiomorphic and apomorphic states. The subfamily consists of six tribes, which are devided into two phylogenetic branches: Chorezmomyiini-Oebaliini-Metopiini and Miltogrammatini-Phyllotelini-Amobiini. The phylogenetic relationships of subtribes and genera are also discussed. Five new subtribes are described: Mesomelaenina, Phrosinellina, Sphenometopiina (Metopiini); Lampometopiina (Phyllotelini) and Aenigmetopiina (Miltogrammatini).
