VERVES, Kiev Abstract — Data of 53 Sarcophagine and 1 Sarcotachine species collected by DR. Z. KASZAB in Mongolia during his expeditions in 1963-1968. Description of 1 new genus (Asiosareophila gen. n.) and 5 new species (Asiosareophila kaszabi sp. n., Angiometopa mihalyii sp. n., Blaesoxipha mongolica sp. n., B. xiphura sp. n., B. acuticauda sp. n.) is given. 8 species are new to the fauna of Mongolia. With 31 figures. According to our previous papers (ROHDENDORF 1937, 1956; ROHDENDORF & VERVES 1977) 47 species of Sarcophaginae and 1 of Sarcotachininae were reported from the territory of the Mongolian People's Republic. In studying of the materials of DR. KASZAB'S expeditions to Mongolia during 1963-1968 and partly other expeditions 53 species of Sarcophaginae and one species of Sarcotachininae are ascertained. From them one genus (Asiosareophila gen. nov.) and 5 species (Asiosareophila kaszabi, Angiometopa mihalyii, Blaesoxipha mongolica, B. xiphura, B. acuticauda ) are new for science, while 8 species Brachicoma asiatica ROHD. et VERVES, [Agria affinis (FLL.), Oophagomyia plotnikovi ROHD., Blaesoxipha filipjevi ROHD., B. zachvatkini ROHD., Bercaea haemorrhoidalis (FLL.), Parasarcophaga jacobsoni ROHD., Parasarcophaga uliginosa (KRAMER)] are new for the fauna. Thus, a total of 60 species of Sarcophaginae are known for Mongolia now. The results of this study are presented in the paper below.
