Genus Sarcophaga Meigen, 1824

Sarcophaga Meigen, 1824: 305. Type species: Musca carnaria Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation of Partington (1837: 607).

Magnicauda Wei, 2005: 405. Type species: Magnicauda linjiangensis Wei, 2005, by original designation. Syn. nov.

Maginicauda : Wei (2005: 409). Incorrect original spelling of Magnicauda , by First Reviser action in the present paper.

Leigongshanophaga Lehrer & Wei, 2010: 8. Type species: Sarcophaga catoptosa Wei & Yang, 2007 [= Sarcophaga suthep Pape & Bänziger, 2003], by original designation. Syn. nov. For other synonyms, see Pape (1996).

Remarks.

Verves and Khrokalo (2020: 204) proposed Leigongshanophaga Lehrer & Wei, 2010 as a new synonym of the valid genus Rosellea Rohdendorf, 1937, but Xue et al. (2011: 320) proposed the same earlier. As argued below, we consider Sarcophaga catoptosa Wei & Yang, 2007, which is the type species of Leigongshanophaga Lehrer & Wei, 2010, to be a synonym of Sarcophaga suthep Pape & Bänziger, 2003, syn. nov., and we follow Wang et al. (2019) in treating this species in Sarcophaga subgenus Cornexcisia Fan & Kano, 2000.
