REMARKS:
Rondani (1863: 25)
described
Sarcophaga ruficrura
from just the female sex, apparently mis-sexing it, without specifying either the
number
or length of the specimens, from material received from G. De Cristoforis.
Costa
(1866: 33)
listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “693”. We also found
one syntype
in this study.
