In the family sarcophagidae, which comprises several synanthropic and necrophagous filth flies however, chromosomal analysis in several species have been done, only a few cases of inversion polymorphism have been reported earlier. In the present communication some more cases of chromosomal polymorphism have been discussed. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
