Abstract
Two cases of Sarcophaga myiasis are reported from Montreal, Quebec. In the first case, larvae were passed in a bloody stool of a 5-year-old child and in the second, larvae were removed from a sore on the toe of a middle-aged man. The external morphology, cephalo-pharyngeal sclerites, prothoracic respiratory organs, and the posterior spiracular pit of the larvae ate described. Case I larvae agree with descriptions of S. haemorrhoidalis Fallén. Those from case II are probably S. crassipalpis Macquart. Both species are known to occur in Quebec. Probable modes of infection are discussed.
