A new species and a new record of Sarcofahrtiopsis (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) from the Brazilian Amazon

Abstract

ABSTRACT A new species of sarcophagid fly, Sarcofahrtiopsis papei sp. nov., is described based on a male specimen from the state of Amazonas in the Brazilian Amazon. It differs from congeners mainly in having the dorsal surface of the basiphallus with a clubbed projection bearing many tiny sclerotized spines. We also report the first record of Sarcofahrtiopsis matthewsi for the Brazilian Amazon.
