Sarcophaga

Buenaventura, Eliana & Pape, Thomas, 2015, Phylogeny of the Peckia-genus group: evolution of male genitalia in the major necrophagous guild of Neotropical flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), Organisms Diversity & Evolution (New York, N. Y.) 15 (2), pp. 301-331 : 326

Genus Sarcophaga

The monophyly of Sarcophaga (s. lat.) seems to be accepted, as it has been demonstrated previously ( Kutty et al. 2010; Stamper et al. 2012) using different sources of characters and taxon samples. Here, the three species of Sarcophaga formed a monophyletic group supported by one uniquely derived apomorphy: the paraphallic window (Fig. 3c), the presence of which in the subgenus Heteronychia Brauer and Bergenstamm and other subgenera of Sarcophaga was already reported by Whitmore et al. (2013).
