Long-term survey SISBIOTA-Diptera reveals three new species of Sarcophagidae (Diptera, Oestroidea)

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Three new species of Sarcophagidae are described based on adult male specimens collected in the SISBIOTA-Diptera project survey. The new species belong to the genera Dexosarcophaga Townsend, D. papia sp. nov., Lepidodexia Brauer & Bergenstamm, L. aenigmatica sp. nov., and Rettenmeyerina Dodge, R. guidae sp. nov. The genus Rettenmeyerina is no longer monotypic, as a new species is herein described. Adult male morphology for all new species is documented with original photographs and illustrations, including details of male terminalia. The relevance of long-term survey projects is reinforced by the description of three species previously unknown to science.
