TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil ]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63 ); [Belem (Pará), Brazil ] ( Papavero 1973: 343 ). See Remarks. TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀ , syntype (missing antennae and fore-legs) ( MZUN : Box Muscidae M02, 15): Somomyia [ sic !] princeps Rnd. , Brasile / M. Zool. N° 11402. CURRENT STATUS: valid species, unplaced to genus of Calliphoridae ( James 1970: 16 ) . REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 77) described Lucilia princeps from just the female 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 (as Somomyia [ sic !] princeps Rnd. ) numbered “701”. 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 .
