Abstract in English:

The 24 New World species of Chrysomyini are revised. Keys are given to genera and species with illustrations of characters of diagnostic and systematic importance. All taxa are fully described (except for the species of Chrysomya and Cochliomyia), and reference is made to their biology where is known. There are 20 endemic species (1 Chloroprocta, 3 Paralucilia, 6 Hemilucilia, 4 Cochliomyia, 6 Compsomyops), and 4 Chrysomya have been introduced from the Old World. Four new species are described: Paralucilia adesposta, P. xantogeneiates, Hermilucilia melusina, Compsomyops melloi. There are 2 new generic and 2 new specific synonymies. The types of previously described species have been examined wherever possible, and lectotypes designated where appropriate.
