REMARKS:
Rondani (
1861g
: 390)
described
Sarcophaga nepos
without specifying either the
number
or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being
five specimens
in the type series found in this study. In his redescription
Rondani (1862d: 121)
wrote: “
Semel marem et foeminam legi
in Apennino
parmensi
[I collected the male and the female once in the Parmese Apennines]”.
Pape (1988: 11)
designated a
lectotype
(
♂
) and
paralectotype
(
♂
), but neither he nor
Whitmore (2011: 51)
mentioned an additional
four females
: three in the MZUF and one in the MSNC (all are
paralectotypes
).
