Sarcophaga (Bulbostyla) fattigina Giroux & Wheeler sp. nov.

( Figs. 20–25 )

Type material: holotype: ɗ labelled ‘Kennesaw Mt. / Cobb Co. Ga. / Net VI.15.1952 / Dodge Sudia Seago’; ‘Cf type subdiscalis / Very similar but / ventralia differs / Pfac hairs fine 2–25 / Det. H.R. Dodge 1953’; ‘ Holotype / Sarcophaga (Bulbostyla) / fattigina / Giroux & Wheeler’ ( FSCA).

Description (male): body length 10.0 mm.

Head: 10–12 pairs of medioclinate frontal setae. Genal setae black, postgena mostly black-haired, white setae restricted to posterior part of postgena.

Thorax: proanepisternum of holotype with one seta on left side, right side bare.

Wing: dark hairs on lateral margin of alula as long as those on anterior margin of anal lobe. Hairs fringing calypters dark brown.

Legs: hind tibia with few moderately long, straight posteroventral hairs.

Abdomen: tergite 5 with orange-yellow margin on apical half or third, with a marginal row of strong setae, two middle (dorsal) ones clearly anterior to the others.

Terminalia: cerci and syntergosternite 7+8 darker than epandrium. Surstylus without a small posteroventral projection. Window on sternite 5 almost even with rest of base. Pregonite with pointed lateral extension. Vesica and juxta as in Figs. 20–21 . Juxta in posterior view as in Fig. 22 .

Female: unknown.

Etymology: The species name refers to seven specimens in FSCA, representing multiple species, labelled by H. R. Dodge under the unpublished subgeneric name “ S. ( Fattigina )”. The name apparently refers to P.W. Fattig, who collected two of the seven specimens. One of those specimens is the holotype of this species.
