Rondani (1851: 364)
described
Sarcophaga varipes
from just the female sex, giving a range of lengths, from material collected by
Osculati (1850)
during his journey through equatorial South America.
Osculati (1850: 240)
listed “
varipes
” under the generic name
Sarchophaga
but did not describe the species.
Leonardi
et al
. (1995: 148)
and
Mazzotti (2011: 166)
reported the Osculati collection in Milan as destroyed. We also did not find any
type
material during this study.
