Material examined.

Holotype of Parasarcophaga (Robineauella) huangshanensis Fan, 1964: ♂, China, Anhui, Huangshan , 19.vi.1936, [unknown collector] [terminalia not recovered] . Paratypes: 2♂♂, China, Zhejiang, Tianmu mountain , 1100 m, 5.vii.1962, Zhizi Chen leg. (SECA) .

Remarks.

We examined the type series of S. (R.) huangshanensis and found that the male terminalia are a close match with the description and illustrations provided for P. simultaneousa (Figs 11 , 12 ). The most important difference would be the difference in thickness of the proximal part of the juxtal processes, but this is here considered as infraspecific variation. Wei and Yang (2007) noted that this species could be confused with S. (Liosarcophaga) kitaharai Miyazaki, 1958; however, the latter, as a member of Liosarcophaga Rohdendorf, 1937, has a distiphallus with a better-developed dorso-median juxtal extension and an almost right-angled apico-dorsal part of juxta (Figs 11b , 12b, c ). Lehrer (2012) examined the holotype of S. simultaneousa and mentioned a similarity to R. daurica Grunin, 1964 and R. mendeliana Lehrer, 2008 (as " mendelliana "); however, he did not mention S. (R.) huangshanensis , maybe by an oversight.
