摘要：

Protopiophila litigata sp. nov. is described from Ontario and Nova Scotia. McAlpine's (1977) key to the species of Protopiophila is modified to facilitate identification of the new species. Behaviours of P. litigata and P, latipes were studied in Algonquin Park, Ontario. Whereas P. latipes reproduces on corpses in advanced stages of decay, P. litigata mates and oviposits on discarded cervid antlers, ignoring other carrion. Unlike P. latipes, males of P. litigata engage in 'mate guarding'. These traits probably represent autapomorphies of P. litigata.
