Abstract
Sarcophaga bezziana Böttcher, 1913 and S. infixa Böttcher, 1913 are redescribed and their male terminalia are illustrated with SEM images; their subgeneric affiliation and affinities with related species are discussed. A lectotype is designated for Sarcophaga bezziana Böttcher. This species is compared to the closely related S. amita Rondani, 1860 and transferred from subgenus Heteronychia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 to subgenus Discachaeta Enderlein, 1928, comb. nov. Sarcophaga infixa Böttcher sp. rev. is removed from synonymy with S. haemorrhoides Böttcher, 1913. A new species, Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) gallica sp. nov., closely related to S. (H.) infixa, is described from southern France.References
