2006 Annals of the Entomological Society of America  
The sarcophagid ßies that breed in North American pitcher plants of the genus Sarracenia are taxonomically revised and described. The species are as follows: Sarcophaga sarraceniae Riley, 1874; Fletcherimyia abdita Pape 1990; Fletcherimyia celarata (Aldrich, 1916); Fletcherimyia fletcheri (Aldrich, 1916); Fletcherimyia folkertsi Dahlem & Naczi sp. nov.; Fletcherimyia jonesi (Aldrich, 1916); Fletcherimyia oreophilae Dahlem & Naczi sp. nov.; Fletcherimyia papei Dahlem & Naczi sp. nov.; and
more » ... rimyia rileyi . Life history information is provided, including host associations between the ßies and pitcher plant species. MisidentiÞcations and dubious identiÞcations present in the literature are discussed. Literature reviews are provided for all species. Illustrations of the male and female genitalia should allow identiÞcation of all the included species. A key is provided to sort male specimens whose genitalia have not been spread.
