REMARKS:
Rondani (1848b: 76)
described
Sarcophaga circumcisa
from just the male sex, without specifying the exact
number
of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani and received from G. Mussino.
Costa (1866: 33)
listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “689”. We also found
one syntype
in this study. Although
Rondani (1848b: 63)
only gave the type locality as “
Brasile
”,
Papavero (1973: 343)
gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in
Spinola (1853)
that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará,
Brazil
