Diagnosis: This species is similar to O. ruficeps in having microtrichose areas on abdominal tergites 3 and 4 laterally reaching tergite margins, but clearly differs from it by having occiput, femora and tibiae widely orange-yellow (entirely black in O. ruficeps ).

Description: see Kameneva, 1997.

Comments: Since the specimens from France almost exclusively conform to the current concept of O. jucunda , we have chosen as the neotype a specimen in a good condition which was collected nearest to Paris and belonging to the NMHNP. The entire series included

1♂ and 2♀, all with the essential characters as described by Hennig (1939) and Kameneva (1997). The reason for designating the same specimen as the neotype of two nominal species was to establish objective synonymy for them.

We consider the species name “ porcus ” as a noun of masculine gender in apposition, which does not change its ending to conform to the grammatical gender of the generic name; this corresponds to the original binomen Musca porcus .
