Median stylus with a projection basally (Fig. 34F). Female. Terminalia as described by Mello-Patiu & Santos (2001, figs 23–24, 40). Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). Remarks. Nephochaetopteryx tinguensis shares with N. lopesi, N. paraensis and N. similis sp. nov. distiphallus with a small finger-like curved projection and vesica strongly angled. It differs from N. paraensis in having lobe of male sternite 5 rounded, with a tuft of short setulae, and surstylus lacking a pointed projection; and from N. lopesi in lacking pointed projections on the anterior margin of pregonite. The terminalia of N. tinguensis are similar to those of N. similis sp. nov., from which it differs by the shape of the gonites and distiphallus (see remarks under N. similis sp. nov.). Nephochaetopteryx tinguensis was described based on a single male (the holotype) and 20 females (paratypes) from Tinguá, Rio de Janeiro, which were deposited in Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) (holotype and some paratypes) and in WSU (remaining paratypes) (Dodge 1968a). All the specimens described Dodge (1968a) were later transferred to MNRJ. However, we only found a small box with the female paratypes and the pinned label of the holotype male in MNRJ prior to the 2018 fire. Therefore, the holotype and only male specimen is presumed lost. The present male redescription was based on one specimen from Reserva Biológica do Tinguá in Rio de Janeiro (the type locality), which runs to N. tinguensis in Dodge’s (1968a) key. In addition, the terminalia of the examined specimen are similar to those illustrated by Dodge (1968a). The female paratypes are not redescribed here, since one of them was redescribed by Mello-Patiu & Santos (2001). Dodge (1968a) identified the female specimens as N. tinguensis only because, among the material examined deposited in IOC, they were also collected in Tinguá. In addition, Dodge (1968a) mentioned that all the female paratypes (except for one specimen) differed from the male holotype in the color of palpus (yellow in males and brown in females). Therefore, considering that several species of Nephochaetopteryx whose females are unknown have been recorded from Rio de Janeiro, it is possible that the females identified as N. tinguensis belong to other species., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on pages 73-75, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406, {"references":["Dodge, H.

Vesica twisted basally, with a strong middle pointed projection and with claw-shaped distal half (Fig. 24F). Inner process of vesica absent (Fig. 24F). Lateral and median styli short, of about one-third of width of widest portion of lateral wall of distiphallus, and both inserted close to base of vesica (Fig. 24F). Female. Unknown. Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Brazil (Amazonas, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Pará). Remarks. This species differs from the other species in the genus in having ventroapical margin of distiphallus with a pointed projection, ventral margin of distiphallus with a prominent pointed projection and by the shape of vesica. The distiphallus of Nephochaetopteryx angustifrons also shows some these features and the differences between these two species are mentioned in the remarks under N. angustifrons. The terminalia of the holotype of N. linharensis are very similar to those of N. pallidifacies, differing only in the presence of an “apophysis” on apical surface of the distiphallus, the presence of a preapical protuberance on apical surface of the cercus, and in the number of spines forming the ctenidium (three in N. linharensis, five in N. pallidifacies) (Tibana & Santos 1997). The difference between the distiphallic apophyses of N. linharensis and N. pallidifacies is subtle and the number of spines forming the ctenidium is a highly variable feature. We examined some specimens of N. linharensis and N. pallidifacies with a ctenidium composed of three spines (a feature of N. linharensis), but without a protuberance on the cercus (a feature of N. pallidifacies). Tibana & Santos (1997) pointed out that the cercus of N. pallidifacies has no preapical protuberance. However, the cercus of the holotype of N. pallidifacies has a very small protuberance that is not as conspicuous as the protuberance of N. linharensis. Therefore, the apical protuberance seems to be subject to intraspecific variation. Hence, N. linharensis is treated as a junior synonym of N. pallidifacies. This species is recorded for the first time from the Brazilian Amazon (Amazonas, Pará)., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on pages 51-54, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406, {"references":["Lopes, H.

Terminalia. As described by Mello-Patiu & Santos (2001, figs 5–6, 31). Male. Unknown. Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Brazil (Minas Gerais). Remarks. This species was described based on three females which, according to Dodge (1968a), were characterized by having yellow fore coxa. The holotype and a paratype were examined and their fore coxa is light brown with yellowish microtomentum (Fig. 37G). Some specimens of other species of Nephochaetopteryx also have a light brown fore coxa similar to that of N. coxalis. The type locality of Nephochaetopteryx coxalis is in Minas Gerais, and N. angustifrons and N. pallidifacies are the only other species recorded from this state. These species, as N. coxalis, also have a yellow palpus. However, the female terminalia of N. angustifrons are different from those of N. coxalis (Mello-Patiu & Santos 2001). The female terminalia of N. pallidifacies are unknown., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on pages 22-23, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406, {"references":["Dodge, H.

Unknown. Etymology. The specific name, which should be treated as a noun in apposition, is derived from the Latin word “psittacus”, meaning parrot, and “cercus”, alluding to the shape of the cercus, which resembles the beak of a parrot in lateral view. Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Ecuador (Zamora), Brazil (Acre, Pará). Remarks. Nephochaetopteryx psittacocercus sp. nov. is similar to N. orbitalis in the shape of the cercus and distiphallus.

In N. orbitalis the cercus has two lobes and a rounded tip, surstylus triangular and pregonite claw-shaped., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on pages 59-61, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406

Nephochaetopteryx subaurata (Engel) (Fig. 32) Bercaea subaurata Engel, 1931: 142 (description of male). Type locality: Bolivia, San José de Chiquitos. Nephochaetopteryx subaurata: Lopes (1969: 28; catalog); Pape (1996: 262; catalog). Material examined. Nephochaetopteryx subaurata was described based on the holotype ♁ deposited in Staatliches Museum f̹r Naturkunde Stuttgart (SMNS), Stuttgart, Germany. The holotype was not examined directly, therefore the redescription is based on photographs of the holotype and figures from the original description. The label of the holotype shows the following data: S. José n̂rdl. 80 Km Boliv. X. 26 [handwritten by Lindner] / Lindner, D Chaco Exped [printed]. Redescription. Male (holotype) (Fig. 32A). Length = 4.5 mm. Head. Parafacial plate and postocular strip with golden microtomentum; fronto-orbital plate with silvery microtomentum. Frontal vitta black with upper half reddish-brown. Five frontal setae. Gena and postgena with golden microtomentum. Palpus brown. Thorax. Chaetotaxy: dorsocentrals 2+4; intra-alars 2+3; supra-alars 1+3; notopleurals 1 subprimary; anepisternals 5; merals 6. Mid femur with two median setae and without a differentiated posteroventral seta. Ctenidium consisting of four spines. Wing hyaline. Abdomen. Tergites brown with a band of silvery microtomentum on anterior 4/5 of dorsal and lateral surfaces. Terminalia (Fig. 32B). Sternite 5 brown; with a deep cleft, nearly reaching middle region; lobe rounded and with a tuft of short setulae; arms divergent, short and narrow. Cercus shorter than epandrium, with a rounded projection covered with spines on inner lateral margin in distal half and with tip pointed and curved ventrally. Cercal base with long and thick setae; cercal prong with short setae. Pregonite longer than wide, with rounded apex. Postgonite longer than wide, with pointed apex. Distiphallus with apical margin rounded and ventral margin serrated. Vesica elongate and angled in lateral view. Female. Unknown. Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Argentina (Chaco), Bolivia (San José de Chiquitos). Remarks. This species is similar to N. cyaneiventris, N. orbitalis and N. psittacocercus sp. nov. in having cercal prongs with spines. Nephochaetopteryx cyaneiventris differs from N. subaurata in having cercus with a prominent projection. Nephochaetopteryx subaurata differs from N. orbitalis and N. psittacocercus sp. nov. in having cercal prongs without a rounded lateral projection. In the catalogue of Sarcophagidae of the Americas south of the United States (Lopes 1969) and in the Catalogue of the Sarcophagidae of the World (Pape 1996), the type locality of N. subaurata is given as San José in Argentina, which is the same locality mentioned in the original description by Engel (1931). According to Dufek et al. (2020), San José is “Estancia San José”, a province of Formosa in Argentina. However, Dr. Erwin Lindner (collector of the holotype) was in San José, northeast Argentina, in October 1925, and he collected around San José de Chiquitos in Bolivia in September and October 1926. Therefore, as in the holotype label the word “Boliv,” and the date “X.26” are clearly stated, the locality “S. José” cannot be in Argentina, as Engel (1931) presumed (Dr. Hans-Peter Tschorsnig, pers. comm.). Until recently, N. subaurata was known only from the holotype male, but another specimen was recentely recorded from the Humid Chaco region, Argentina by Dufek et al. (2020)., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on pages 68-71, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406, {"references":["Engel, O.

Mid femur with two differentiated median setae and without a differentiated posteroventral seta. Ctenidium consisting of four spines. Wing hyaline; vein R 2+3 with setulae ventrally; vein R 4+5 setulose dorsally to crossvein r-m. Abdomen. Tergites brown with a band of gray microtomentum on anterior 4/5 of dorsal and lateral surfaces. Sternites 1 to 4 yellowish-brown with a median brown spot, covered with yellowish setulae and with marginal setae (Fig. 37A). Sternite 4 with a median patch of thick setae near posterior margin (Fig. 37A). Terminalia. Sternite 5 brown, with a deep cleft, nearly reaching middle of sternite; lobe rounded and with a tuft of short setulae and several long and short setae; arm wide, with rounded apex, covered with setae. Syntergosternite 7+8, epandrium and cercus brown. Cercus shorter than epandrium, tapering distally in lateral view, with an apical pointed projection ventrally (Fig. 10A). Cercal prongs parallel in dorsal view, with a preapical tuft of long setulae on inner lateral margins (Fig. 10B). Surstylus almost triangular, without setulae on basal margin and with some scattered fine setae (Fig. 10A). Pregonite wide and short (shorter than postgonite), with apex perpendicular to base; ventral and posterior margins with short and pointed setae (Fig. 10C). Postgonite elongate with apex slightly curved anteriorly and posterior margin with a long seta (longer than postgonite) and some small, pointed setae (Fig. 10D). Basiphallus short, about half as long as distiphallus, with proximal region narrowed and curved dorsally (Fig. 10E). Distiphallus elongate, with dorsal margin sinuous and apical margin rounded (Fig. 10E). Ventral margin of distiphallus with two prominent projections, a proximal projection that is glossiform, serrated apically and strongly curved toward the base of the distiphallus and a distal projection that is rounded and placed below vesica base (Fig. 10E). Vesica dome-shaped (Fig. 10E). Median and lateral styli small, of about one-third of width of widest portion of lateral wall of distiphallus, and both inserted close to apical surface of distiphallus (Fig. 10E). Female. Terminalia not described. Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Panama (Panama). Remarks. This species is similar to N. travassosi and N. sofiae sp. nov. in having vein R 2+3 with setulae ventrally and vesica dome-shaped. However, it differs from the other two in having glossiform projection of ventral margin of distiphallus strongly curved toward the base of the distiphallus. Nephochaetopteryx distincta differs from N. travassosi in having sternites 1 to 4 yellow with a brown strip and cercal prongs parallel. In N. travassosi the sternites are brown and the cercal prongs are strongly divergent. The differences between N. distincta and N. sofiae sp. nov. are discussed in the remarks on the latter species. The nominal species N. hyalina and N. distincta were described by Dodge (1968b), both based only on male specimens from Panama. Dodge (1968b) pointed out that both are very similar, differing only in the presence of a median patch of setae on sternite 3 and the wing lacking a brown spot in N. hyalina. Lopes (1975b) analyzed the holotypes of these species and considered N. hyalina a junior synonym of N. distincta, since he did not find differences in the male terminalia. The wing spot is a variable feature that may change during the lifetime of specimens, since newly emerged specimens of Nephochaetopteryx show wings without or with a faint brown spot (FSCF, personal observation). The median patch of setae on sternite 3 of N. hyalina is different to the patch on sternite 4, since the setae are only weakly differentiated from the others on the same sternite (Figs 37 A–B). We examined the holotypes of N. hyalina and N. distincta and did not find differences in the male terminalia. Therefore, the synonymy proposed by Lopes (1975b) is maintained., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on pages 27-29, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406, {"references":["Dodge, H.

Tergites brown with a band of golden microtomentum on anterior 4/5 of dorsal and lateral surfaces. Sternites 1 to 4 rectangular, yellow with a median brown strip, covered with yellowish setulae and with marginal setae. Terminalia. Sternite 5 brown; with a deep cleft, nearly reaching middle of sternite; lobe rounded and with a tuft of short setulae; arms divergent, short and narrow (Fig. 22E). Cercus shorter than epandrium with dorsal margin with two rounded projections and pointed apex curved ventrally in lateral view (Fig. 22A). Cercal prongs widely separated in dorsal view, with a rounded projection on the inner lateral margins (Fig. 22B). Cercal prong with small spines, with setulae restricted to cercal base (Figs 22 A–B). Pregonite shorter than postgonite, with pointed apex perpendicular to base; posterior margin with small pointed setae (Fig. 22C). Postgonite almost straight, tapering distally, with a long seta on anterior margin (Fig. 22D). Basiphallus short, about half as long as distiphallus length; with narrowed distal half (Fig. 22F).

Terminalia as described by Mello-Patiu & Santos (2001, figs 17–18, 37). Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Brazil (Minas Gerais, Pará, Rio de Janeiro), Guyana (Bartica). Remarks. Nephochaetopteryx orbitalis is very similar to N. psittacocercus sp. nov., from which differs by the shape of the cercus and pregonite (see remarks under N. psittacocercus sp. nov.). Nephochaetopteryx orbitalis, N. affinis, N. cyaneiventris, N. psittacocercus sp. nov., N. coendu sp. nov. and N. subaurata are the only species that have cercal prongs with spines. Nephochaetopteryx orbitalis differs from these species in having two rounded projections in the distal portion of the cercus and by the overall shape of the cercus. The holotype of N. orbitalis was not studied. Even though the illustration of the terminalia in the original description by Curran & Walley (1934) is not detailed, the two characteristic lobes of the cercus are evident in the analyzed specimens from the Brazilian Amazon (Pará), relatively close to the type locality in Guyana. The redescription provided by Lopes (1936) was also not based on the holotype. We analyzed the specimens studied by Lopes (1936), and they are similar to those from the Brazilian Amazon., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on page 49, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406, {"references":["Curran, C.

Abdomen. Syntergite 1+2 orange, tergite 3 with anterior half orange and posterior half dark brown; tergites 4 and 5 dark brown; tergites with a band of golden microtomentum on lateral margin of anterior half. Sternites 1 to 4 rectangular, yellow, covered with yellowish setulae and with marginal setae. Sternite 4 with a median patch of spine-like setae on posterior margin (Fig. 38E) and a black spot beneath the patch. Terminalia. Sternite 5 brown; longer than wide with setae restricted to anterior half, concentrated mainly on arm and the region below the lobe; cleft shallow, extending slightly beyond base of lobe; lobe rounded and with a tuft of short setulae (Figs 38 C–D); arm short and clubbed, parallel to lobe (Fig. 25E).Cercus straight and short (shorter than epandrium), with cercal base enlarged and cercal prong narrowed; tip of cercus rectangular and with a small apical knob in the ventral margin in lateral view (Fig. 25B). Cerci divergent in dorsal view, with rounded tips (Fig. 25A). Setulae absent on tip and outer lateral margin of cercus, with long setae on proximal half (Figs 25 A–B). Surstylus clubbed, with setae restricted to apical half and with a narrow strip of setulae on basal half (Fig. 25B). Pregonite tapering toward the apex with distal half perpendicular to base, bearing some minute pointed setae (Fig. 25C). Postgonite claw-shaped, gently curved anteriorly, about the same length of pregonite, with a long seta on posterior margin and with small pointed setulae on distal half (Fig. 25D).

Terminalia as described by Mello-Patiu & Santos (2001, figs 19–21, 38). Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Brazil (Ceará, Minas Gerais, Pará, Rio de Janeiro). Remarks. Nephochaetopteryx pallidiventris shares with N. spinosa and N. boruca sp. nov. the narrow and angled vesica, the T-shaped basiphallus, and sternite 5 longer than wide. The cerci of N. pallidiventris and N. spinosa are similar, but these species are easily separated by the shape of the vesica (see remarks under N. spinosa). Nephochaetopteryx pallidiventris was described by Townsend (1934) based on three female specimens from the state of Pará in Brazil. The description is short and does not contain information or illustrations about the terminalia. Lopes (1936) obtained some male specimens from rearing larvae extracted from a gravid female from Rio de Janeiro with coloration similar to that in the description of Townsend (1934). Therefore, these specimens were identified as N. pallidiventris by Lopes (1936), who described the male of this species for the first time. Subsequently, Lopes (1968) analyzed the two paratypes of N. pallidiventris and only one of them was similar to the female described by Lopes (1936). Finally, Lopes (1979) redescribed the female holotype of N. pallidiventris and observed that its terminalia are similar to those of the female described as N. palidiventris by him in a previous work (Lopes 1936). Lopes (1975a) considered the species N. angrensis Dodge (1968) to be a junior synonym of N. pallidiventris. The terminalia of the holotype of N. angrensis are similar to those of N. pallidiventris, and thus the synonymy proposed by Lopes (1975a) is maintained., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on pages 54-57, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406, {"references":["Townsend, C.

However, N. paraensis differs from other Nephochaetopteryx species in having postgonite with a conspicuous clubbed projection and lobe of sternite 5 pointed. The holotype of N. paraensis, deposited in USNM, was not examined. However, the highly characteristic shape of the male sternite 5 and postgonite allowed us to reliably identify additional specimens from the type locality and from other localities in the Brazilian Amazon. This species is widely distributed in the Brazilian Amazon, and it is here newly recorded from the states of Acre, Mato Grosso and Roraima., Published as part of Carvalho-Filho, Fernando Da Silva, Esposito, Maria Cristina & Mello-Patiu, Cátia Antunes De, 2021, Revision of Nephochaetopteryx Townsend, 1934 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 4928 (1) on pages 57-59, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4544406, {"references":["Dodge, H.
