Rognes, Terry Whitworth With An Appendix By Knut & Whitworth, Terry, 2012, Identification of Neotropical blow flies of the genus Calliphora Robineau- Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) with the description of a new species, Zootaxa 3209, pp. 1-27 : 25

Lucilia peruviana Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 455

Robineau-Desvoidy gave a short description, but again the sex was not given. He stated that “[c] ette belle espèce, orginaire du Pérou, fait partie de la collection du comte Dejean [this beautiful specimen, collected in Peru, belongs in the collection of Count Dejean]”. James (1970: 15) in the Neotropical catalogue, cited the name among unplaced species. The name has apparently since been unused. No material remains, as far as is known. Its identity is not known, and it serves no purpose to resurrect the name by designation of a neotype.

In Systema Dipterorum (Pape & Thompson 2010) this nominal species is correctly listed under “ Lucilia peruviana Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 455 ”, but erroneously given the valid name “ Calliphora peruviana ”, and the type is erroneously listed as being present in MNHN (Warning Work Record, Record #38 381). It is also given a separate entry in the database under “ Calliphora peruviana (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 455) ” (same Record # 38 381), also the result of confusion.
