REMARKS: Rondani (1863: 36) described Sapromyza affra from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material received from M. Spinola. Costa (1866: 34) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “725”. We also found one syntype in this study.
