Resumen:
ABSTRACT Two species of Microcerella Macquart were obtained from 20 pig and llama corpses during a decomposition field experiment in highlands desert landscapes of Catamarca, Argentina. We sampled four pig and two llama carcasses. Microcerella antofagastensis sp. nov. is described, and M.quimaliensis (Lopes, 1982) is redescribed. Illustrations of male and female terminalia of both species are provided and should allow a correct identification. Notes on the biology of both species are given.
