Unidentified Sarcophaga Meigen View in CoL
From egg sacs of Argiope trifasciata (Forsskål)
Recorded by Armas and Alayón García (1986: 116, as unidentified Sarcophagula Wulp [misidentification]) as a parasitoid in egg sacs of A. trifasciata (Forsskål) in San Antonio de los Baños, La Habana, Cuba.
Remarks: Sarcophagula is a subgenus of Tricharaea Thomson including mostly saprophagous and coprophagous species ( Pape and Dahlem 2010; Patitucci et al. 2015). Therefore, the specimens recorded in egg sacs of A. trifasciata were misidentified and probably belong to Sarcophaga , subgenus Mehria .
