CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Discachaeta amita ( Verves 1986: 145 , Povolný & Verves 1997: 159 ); valid species, as Sarcophaga ( Discachaeta ) amita ( Pape 1988: 6 , 1996: 314 , Pape et al . 1995: 14 ); valid species, as Sarcophaga ( Heteronychia ) amita ( Whitmore 2011: 17 ; Krčmar et al . 2019: 126 ). REMARKS: Rondani ( 1861g : 391) described Sarcophaga amita from just the male sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens. In his redescription Rondani (1862d: 122) specified having had more than one male : “ Marem legi in collibus , et alium in Apenino agri parmensis [I collected the male on hills, and once on the Parmese Apennines]”. Pape (1988: 6) designated a lectotype ( ♂ ) and paralectotypes ( 2 ♂♂ ) but did not mention an additional male in the OUMNH and one male in the MSNC (both of these additional specimens are paralectotypes ).
