REMARKS: Rondani (1861g: 387) described Sarcophaga privigna from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths. In his redescription of Sarcophaga privigna Rondani (1862d: 109) specified the type locality: “ in agri parmensis collibus [Parmese hills] … Insubricum [Insubrian (= Lombardy) Alps] ... ab Insula Melita [from Malta Island]”. Pape (1988: 13) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotypes (3 ♂♂) but did not mention an additional three males: one in the MZUF, one in the MSNC, and one in the MSNPV (all are paralectotypes).
