Abstract:
Isomyia paurogonita Fang & Fan, 1986 (Diptera: Calliphoridae), a rare species of
the subfamily Rhiniinae (tribe Cosminini) was recorded for the first time in Malaysia. We
collected one male and two females during a field trip conducted at Genting Highland,
Pahang, peninsular Malaysia in May 2011. A 3-day old cow liver was offered as attractant and
dipterans collected were transferred to the laboratory for specimens processing and
identification. The adults of I. paurogonita were attracted to the odour and then captured by
using a sweep net. Isomyia paurogonita was also recorded from two other localities in
Peninsular and Malaysian Borneo, namely Gombak Utara, Selangor and Sibu, Sarawak.
