Abstract: Objective To solve the problems of identification of Sarcosaphagous flies and their larvae, pupas and eggs. Methods Sarcosaphagous Flies (Diptera) Samples were collected on the corpses of rabbits in the Huhhot district and a pig in the Dunhuang district. A 278bp region in the cytochrome oxidase subunitⅠ (COⅠ) gene in mtDNA was analysed by DNA sequencing, A neighbour-jioning tree using the Tamura and Nei model of nucleotide substitution was also constructed using the MEGA2.1 package. Results A 278 base pairs region of the gene for COⅠencoding region of mtDNA of above all samples was showed less than 1% sequence divergence within species and about 3% divergence between species. Conclusion It is an effective, easy and accurate method to be used for identification of these Sarcosaphagous Flies (Diptera) to species group by sequencing the 278 base pairs region of the COⅠencoding gene of mtDNA.
