Protomiltogramma Townsend is the largest and most diverse genus of miltogrammine flesh flies in Australia. However, no comprehensive taxonomic work had been completed on the Australian members of this genus in almost a century. This study presents the first taxonomic revision of all Australian species of Protomiltogramma (Sarcophagidae: Miltogramminae), completed using an integrative approach combining molecular and morphological data. Eight new species endemic to Australia are described: P. dalbiensis sp. n., P. grandis sp. n., P. incana sp. n., P. kapnos sp. n., P. nigrisensa sp. n., P. popularis sp. n., P. rubra sp. n. and P. subtilis sp. n. In addition, P. australis Malloch, 1930 is synonymised with P. cincta Townsend, 1916, syn. n. and P. mallochi Verves, 1987 is synonymised with P. laticeps Malloch, 1930, syn. n. Molecular phylogenetics is used to place the Australian Protomiltogramma among the miltogrammine genera of the world.
Protomiltogramma Townsend 是澳大利亚最大和最多样化的 miltogrammine 肉蝇属。然而，在近一个世纪的时间里，几乎没有对该属的澳大利亚成员进行全面的分类学研究。本研究使用综合方法，结合分子和形态数据，首次对所有澳大利亚 Protomiltogramma 物种（Sarcophagidae: Miltogramminae）进行了分类修订。描述了 8 个澳大利亚特有新种：P. dalbiensis sp. n.、P. grandis sp. n.、P. incana sp. n.、P. kapnos sp. n.、P. nigrisensa sp. n.、P. popularis sp. n.、P. rubra sp. n. 和 P. subtilis sp. n. 此外，P. australis Malloch, 1930 被同义化为 P. cincta Townsend, 1916，syn. n.，P. mallochi Verves, 1987 被同义化为 P. laticeps Malloch, 1930，syn. n.。分子系统发育学将澳大利亚的 Protomiltogramma 置于世界的 miltogrammine 属中。
