Abstract： In this paper, it deals with the boundary delimitation of the zoogeographical regions in Hubei Province on the basis of Hubei Muscidae fauna. Among the 150 species of Muscidae listed, 69 species (or 46.0%) belonged to the Oriental region, 57 species (or 38.0%) belonged to the Palaearctic region, and 24 species (or 16.0%) belonged to both Oriental and Palaearctic regions. Basing on the comparison with the flies fauna of the adjacent Hunan，Jiangxi and Henan Provinces, it is suggested that the Muscidae fauna of Hubei Province should be included in the Oriental region.
