REMARKS: Rondani (1861g: 390) described Sarcophaga infantula from just the male sex without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length. Pape (1988: 9) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotype (♂). One female in the MSRN (Box 1831) and three females in the MZUF (Box 19) are not included in the type series because of their sex.
