Magnicauda linjiangensis linjianensis: Wei 2005: 408, incorrect original spelling of linjiangensis Wei, 2005, by First Reviser action in the present paper.

Material examined.

None.

Remarks.

This species can be distinguished from other species of Sarcophaga by the flag-like pregonite. Wei (2005) provided two different spellings: " linjiangensis " (pp. 404-406, 409) and " linjianensis " (p. 408). Since then, the only mention of the species we have found is that of Verves (2020: 48); however, as only the spelling " linjiangensis " was used, the criteria for a First Reviser action were not fulfilled (see Art. 24.2.3 of the Code). As the species was evidently named after its type locality, we herewith select " linjiangensis " as the correct original spelling by First Reviser action.
