These larvae constitute a new species of Sarcophaga maggots for which the name Sarcophaga Karachiensis sp. n. is proposed. These larvae are characterized by possessing very small peritremes, minute anterior spiracle (respiratory spiracle), very small posterior spiracles and with well developed cephaloskeleton.
