CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Sarcophaga ( Heteronychia ) setinervis Rondani, 1860 ( Verves 1986: 148 , Pape 1988: 14 , 1996: 333 ). REMARKS: Rondani ( 1861g : 389) described both sexes of Sarcophaga puerula without specifying the exact number of specimens and giving a range of lengths, but from more than one specimen because he indicated “ frequens [common]” and listed two type localities. He named the species “ puerula ” (p. 382) in his key but “ parvula ” in his description (p. 389). Acting as First Reviser (according to I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 24.2.4), Rondani (1862d: 119) determined “ puerula ” as the correct original spelling. In his redescription, Rondani (1862d: 119) specified the type locality: “ in collibus agri parmensis [Parmese hills]”. Pape (1988: 14) designated a lectotype ( ♂ ) and paralectotypes ( 3 ♂♂ , 5 ♀♀ ) but did not mention an additional six specimens : two in the MZUF, two in the MSNC, and two in the MSNPV (all are paralectotypes ).
