TYPE LOCALITY: “ In Apennino parmensi [Parmese Apennines ( Italy )]”. TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂ , lectotype ( MZUF : Box 19): Sarcophaga Mgn / adolescens Rnd. / 1026 bis / S. rostrata Pandellé, Böttcher / lectotype ♂ , Sarcophaga adolescens Rnd., T. Pape det., 1986 / Pierretia socrus (Rnd.) , T. Pape det., 1986. PARALECTOTYPES EXAMINED: 1 ♂ ( MZUF : Box 19): Sarcophaga Mgn / adolescens Rnd. / 1026 bis / S. spinosa ♂ Villen., n. type, det. Böttcher, spec. rarissima [very rare species] / paralectotype ; 1 ♂ (moldy, right mid-leg glued to the numbered cardboard stage below specimen) ( MZUF : Box 19): Sarcophaga Mgn / adolescens Rnd. / 1026 bis / S. fertoni ♂ Villen. , n. type, det. Böttcher / paralectotype . CURRENT STATUS: doubtful species of Sarcophaginae ( Verves 1986: 192 ) ; junior synonym of Sarcophaga ( Myorhina ) socrus Rondani, 1860 ( Pape 1988: 5 , 1996: 365 ). REMARKS: Rondani ( 1861g : 388) described Sarcophaga adolescens from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being three specimens in the type series found in this study. Pape (1988: 5) designated a lectotype ( ♂ ) and paralectotypes ( 2 ♂♂ ) and stated: “ Böttcher (1913: 186) listed three additional specimens ( 2 ♂ , 1 ♀ ) under the name adolescens , which he identified as Sarcophaga fertoni Villeneuve, 1911 , Sarcophaga spinosa Villeneuve, 1911 and Blaesoxipha ungulata ( Pandellé, 1896 ) , the latter erroneously listed as a male on p. 186, correctly sexed as a female on p. 187. As Rondani’s original description of Sarcophaga adolescens included males only, I prefer to consider the female of B. ungulata a later addition, and only the two males have been labeled by me as paralectotype ”.
