Pierretia (Pandelleola) filia ssp. siciliana Rohdendorf, 1937: 332 View in CoL . [Junior secondary homonym of Sarcoctenia siciliana Enderlein, 1928 View in CoL .]

Sarcophaga sicilia Pape, 1996: 334 View in CoL . New replacement name for Pierretia siciliana Rohdendorf, 1937 . Heteronychia (Pandelleola) volcanoaetnica Povolný, 2002b: 165 View in CoL , syn. nov.

Type material examined. Pierretia (Pandelleola) filia ssp. siciliana : Holotype 3: [slide] [handwritten on glass] Pierretia / ( Pandelleola ) / filia / siciliana / Typus / Rohdendorf 1936 // [small rectangular label included in Canada balsam] 18 / 0 1 // [red label glued to slide] HOLOTYPE 3 / Pierretia / ( Pandelleola ) / filia siciliana / Rohdendorf, 1937 / det. D. Whitmore 2007 // [white label glued to slide] Sarcophaga / sicilia / Pape, 1996 / det. D. Whitmore 2007 ( ZIN) [slide contains only the terminalia; rest of specimen not found in ZIN].

Heteronychia (Pandelleola) volcanoaetnica : Holotype 3: [Sicily, Catania prov., Linguaglossa] Etna / Bosco Rabago / det. Povolný [/] Etna Bosco / Rabago / 5.VI.01 // [red label] H. volcanoaetnica / Holotypus / det. Povolný ( MMBC) [holotype in average condition with left middle leg missing; terminalia extended].

Additional material examined. No locality: [probably from the same locality as the holotype of H. volcanoaetnica (see Povolný 2003)], 1 3 ( MMBC, as “ Heteronychia volcanoaetnica det. Povolný”). Italy: Sicily, Messina prov., Lipari Is., 26.V.2003, D. Povolný leg., 5 3 ( MMBC, as “ H. volcanoaetnica det. Povolný”); Palermo prov.: Bosco della Ficuzza, 30.VII.2003, P. Cerretti & M. Tisato leg., 1 3 (CNBFVR); Bosco della Ficuzza, Valle Cerasa, 23–27.VI.2005, D. Whitmore et al. leg., 4 3 (CNBFVR); Corleone, Bivio Ponte Casale, 476m, 27.VI.2005, D. Whitmore et al. leg., 2 3, 1 Ƥ (CNBFVR); Corleone, S slope of Rocca Busambra, 950m, 30.VI.2005, D. Whitmore et al. leg., 2 3 (CNBFVR); Ficuzza, nr. road S-118, 25.VI.2005, D. Whitmore et al. leg., 2 3 (CNBFVR). Malta: Gozo Is., Is-Srug, W of Xaghra, 30.III.1999, B. & G. Degen leg., 1 3 ( NHRS); Melieha, 25–29.IV.1980, J. Hansen leg., 1 3 ( ZMUC); Melieha Bay, Ghadira, 19–31.VIII.1992, B. Petersen leg., 2 3 ( ZMUC).

Remarks. No consistent differences were found to justify a separation of Heteronychia volcanoaetnica from Sarcophaga (H.) sicilia . Differences in the shape of the cercus ( Povolný 2002b: 167–168, figs 1 and 4) are considered to be due to intraspecific variability and partly also to a different preparation of the terminalia (dry vs. mounted in Canada balsam), whereas differences in the shape of the juxta (hooked in H. volcanoaetnica ) may be ascribed to post-mortem deformation.
