What!! Valter, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Fauna Europaea is missing lots of species that are definitely in Portugal.

Jorge has photographed Calliphora in Portugal - see http://www.dipter...ad_id=4772

Valter, there is so much good work to do in Portugal (like I wrote you about in a pm some months ago)! B)
So don't hesitate to pick up that glove :p

There are definitely lots of Calliphora here in Portugal. This winter they are some of the easiest flies to see.
