A pairwise percentage distance matrix for the 6 Sarcophagidae fly species is shown in Table 5. Interspecific distance was the lowest between Sarcophaga similis and Sarcophaga peregrina (6.4%), whereas it was the highest between Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis and S. peregrina (8.9%). Intraspecific distances were 0.3% or less.
