Pierretia (Eupierretia) portschinskyana : 16 type specimens: 6 3: Tauria // [transliterated from Cyrillic] k. Porchinskogo [= Portschinsky leg.] (ZIN); 1 3: Tauria // portschin - / kyana / m // k. Porchinskogo // [red label] Paratypus 1937 / Heteronychia / portschinskyana / Rohdendorf (ZIN); 1 3: Tauria // 23 / 7 // k.

Vorob’ev (ZIN); 1 3 [only terminalia mounted in slide; rest of source specimen not recovered]: 17 / 90 // [handwritten on slide] Pierretia / (Eupierretia) / portschinskyana / m. / Rohdendorf / 1936 det. // Sarcophaga / consanguinea / Rondani, 1860 / det. D. Whitmore 2007 (ZIN).

Remarks. Rohdendorf (1937: 374) based his description of Pierretia portschinskyana upon 16 males and 2 females, and explicitly designated a “Tip” (= Type); however, of the above specimens found in ZIN, which certainly belong to the type series, none is clearly indicated as the type (= holotype). The holotype could be the specimen of which only the terminalia were found in slide n. 17 / 90, but this cannot be stated with certainty.

Heteronychia (Eupierretia) atanassovi : Holotype 3 [three slides with just the terminalia; rest of holotype not found in SOFM (A. Popov, pers. comm. 2007)]: [first slide] Heteronychia / (Eupierretia) / atanassovi n. sp. / LEH- RER // Holotypus / sternite V / Ali Botusch: 9.06.936; [second slide] Heteronychia / (Eupierretia) / atanassovi n. sp. / LEHRER // Holotypus / Cerci / Ali Botusch: 9.06.936 [= 1936]; [third slide] Heteronychia / (Eupierretia) / atanassovi n. sp. / LEHRER // Holotypus / Phallosoma / Ali Botusch: 9.06.936 (SOFM).

Heteronychia cullottorum : Holotype 3: [typewritten label on floor of box] Pzzo.St.Angelo / 11.6.0 4 [corrected by hand to 12.6.04; correction not very visible due to a glycerin spill on the label] // HOLOTYPE / HETERONY- CHIA / CULLOTTORUM Povolný, 2005 [handwritten label added by museum curator on floor of box] // [red label pinned beneath the source specimen] Holotypus / sp. n. / det. Povolný [/] Heteronychia / cullot - / torum (MMBC) [terminalia dissected and placed in glycerin in a microvial pinned beneath the source specimen].

Remarks. Povolný (2005) provided two original spellings for his new species: cullottorum (p. 103) and cullotorum (p. 106). By First Reviser action, I select cullottorum as the correct original spelling (Article 24.2.3 of I.C.Z.N. 1999).

Direct comparison of type specimens allowed me to verify the above synonymy and confirm the synonymies of Heteronychia atanassovi and Pierretia portschinskyana with Sarcophaga consanguinea , first proposed by Verves (1986, as a synonym of portschinskyana ) and Kara and Pape (2002), respectively.
