Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) vagans Meigen 1826

Description

Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) vagans Meigen, 1826

(Figs 76–77)

Sarcophaga vagans Meigen, 1826: 26.

Sarcophaga nepos Rondani, 1860: 390.

Sarcophaga frenata Pandellé, 1896: 182.

Sarcophaga bajkalensis Rohdendorf, 1925: 56.

Hartigia anastrenua Baranov, 1942: 621, syn. nov. Heteronychia (Eupierretia) vagans ssp. sachalinensis Verves, 1978b: 185.

Type material examined. Sarcophaga vagans: Syntype Ƥ: [round label] 2090 / 40 // Sarcophaga / vagans / Ƥ // Holotype Ƥ / Sarcophaga / vagans Meig. (MNHN) [terminalia dissected (by R. Richet) and placed in Canada balsam in a small slide pinned beneath the source specimen; first abdominal segments glued to the upper surface of the square of material used to enclose the slide].

Remarks. Meigen (1826) described Sarcophaga vagans on both sexes, as confirmed by the original identification label pinned beneath the syntype found in MNHN, as well as by the relatively low position of the female on the pin. The type series therefore consisted of at least two specimens (in all probability just the pair), and Richet’s labelling of the above female of Sarcophaga vagans as “ holotype ” is incorrect. The female, with a pentagonal vaginal plate, corresponds to S. (H.) vagans as treated by Rohdendorf (1937, as “ Pierretia (Eupierretia) frenata ”), Pape (1987), Povolný and Verves (1997) and Richet et al. (in press) (Figs 76–77).

Sarcophaga nepos: Lectotype 3 (designated by Pape 1988): 1033 // = cruentata / sec. Typ. Pand. / det. Böttch- er // LECTOTYPE 3 / Sarcophaga / nepos Rond. / T. Pape det. // Heteronychia / vagans (Meig.) / T. Pape det. 1986 (MZUF).

Sarcophaga frenata: Lectotype 3 (designated by Pape 2004b): 3 / 2217 // LECTOTYPE 3 / Sarcophaga / frenata Pnd. / T. Pape det. 2002 (MNHN) (see Pape 2004b).

Hartigia anastrenua: Holotype 3: Croatia / Zagreb / 22.V.1931. // N. Baranov / Coll. 1960 // [red label] Type No. / 65730 / U.S. N.M. // Hartigia / anastrenua / sp. n. / N.

Whitmore 2008 (USNM) [holotype with most of abdomen and terminalia detached and placed in glycerin in a microvial pinned beneath the source specimen].

Remarks. The holotype of Hartigia anastrenua is conspecific with Sarcophaga (H.) vagans. I also agree with the recent synonymy of Sarcophaga bajkalensis with S. (H.) vagans proposed by Verves and Khrokalo (2006).
