Currently there are ∼3000 known species of Sarcophagidae (Diptera), which are classified into 173 genera in three subfamilies. Almost 25% of sarcophagids belong to the genusSarcophaga(sensu lato) however little is known about the validity of, and relationships between the ∼150 (or more) subgenera ofSarcophaga s.l. In this preliminary study, we evaluated the usefulness of three sources of data for resolving relationships between 35 species from 14Sarcophaga s.l.subgenera: the mitochondrial COI barcode region, ∼800 bp of the nuclear gene CAD, and 110 morphological characters.Bayesian, maximum likelihood (ML) and maximum parsimony (MP) analyses were performed on the combined dataset. Much of the tree was only supported by the Bayesian and ML analyses, with the MP tree poorly resolved. The genusSarcophaga s.l.was resolved as monophyletic in both the Bayesian and ML analyses and strong support was obtained at the species-level. Notably, the only subgenus consistently resolved as monophyletic wasLiopygia. The monophyly of and relationships between the remainingSarcophaga s.l.subgenera sampled remain questionable. We suggest that future phylogenetic studies on the genusSarcophaga s.l.use combined datasets for analyses. We also advocate the use of additional data and a range of inference strategies to assist with resolving relationships withinSarcophaga s.l.
