Genus Sarcophaga Meigen

Sarcophaga Meigen, 1826: 14 . Type species: Musca carnaria Linnaeus, 1758, by designation of Partington (1837: 607).

[For synonyms, see Pape (1996).]

Remarks. We follow Pape (1996), Whitmore et al. (2013), Buenaventura & Pape (2017) and Wang et al. (2019) in a broad definition of the genus Sarcophaga . For practical reasons, and to reduce the amount of changes in traditional binominal usages, Pape (1996) classified groups of putatively closely related species in subgenera.
