The Miltogramminae are a subfamily of flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) that contains around 600 species across 40 genera, making up 20% of global Sarcophagidae. However, little is known about the taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolution of miltogrammin
The Miltogramminae are a subfamily of flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) that contains around 600 species across 40 genera, making up 20% of global Sarcophagidae. However, little is known about the taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolution of miltogrammines. To address these issues, this study applied Anchored Hybrid Enrichment (AHE) to a sample representing 16% of known species and 60% of recognized genera, from all biogeographic regions except the Neotropical. The resulting highly supported and concordant topologies provided unprecedented insight into the relationships of this subfamily and allowed for a significant update of its classification.
