Sarcofahrtiopsis
Hall, 1933
Sarcofahrtiopsis
has been assumed to be a monophyletic group by many authors (
Lopes 1990
;
Pape 1996
;
Mello-Patiu & Pape 2000
;
Pape & Méndez 2002
,
2004
) and this genus is easily identified by the following combination of character states: small to medium-sized flies (
3–6 mm
in length), wing vein R1 setose dorsally, notopleuron without or with subprimary bristles reduced, male with at least one pair of proclinate orbital bristles, postalar wall bare, mid femur in male without ctenidium, female without epiproct, male parameral apodeme usually elongated (short in
S. thyropteronthos
and
S. cupendipe
), metasternum with reduced setosity (occasional specimens with a few metasternal setulae) (
Pape 1996
;
Mello-Patiu & Pape 2000
). However, only the reduced setosity of the metasternum is valuable in the definition of this genus (Pape
et al
. 2002), since all the other features are present in other
Sarcophaginae
genera or are variable in
Sarcofahrtiopsis
.
