THOMAS PAPE Zoologisk Museum, Copenhagen TWO NEW SPECIES OF SARCOPHAGA MEIGEN FROM MADEIRA AND MAINLAND PORTUGAL (DIPTERA: SARCOPHAGIDAE) Pape, T., 1990. Two new species of Sarcopbaga Meigen from Madeira and mainland Portugal (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). — Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 133: 39-42, figs. 1-9-[ISSN 0040-7496]. Published 31 July 1990. Sarcopbaga (Discacbaeta) amputata sp.n. (Madeira) and Sarcopbaga (Pierretia) iulicida sp.n. (Portugal) are described and their phylogenetic affinities are discussed. S. iulicida was bred from the millipede Ommatoiulus moreleti (Lucas, 1860). Dr. T Pape, present address: Danish Bilharziasis Laboratory, Jaegersborg Allé ID, DK-2920 Charluttenlund, Denmark. Key words. -Diptera; Sarcophagidae; New species; Madeira; Portugal. Introduction A number of specimens representing two undes-cribed species of Sarcopbaga Meigen were reco-vered from various sources. As the accompanying biogeographical and biological information is rather interesting, it is felt that the following des-criptions are justified, although they do not form part of a more thorough revision. Depositories for specimens examined are indi-cated by the following acronyms: BMNH -British Museum (Natural History), Lon-don, England; nmwc -National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, England; ZMUC -Zoologisk Museum, Uni-versity of Copenhagen, Denmark. Systematic part Sarcophaga (Discachaeta) amputata sp.n. (figs. 1-4) Type material. — Holotype $, Madeira (Portugal): Be-tween Canical & Prainha, 5.viii.l981, M.Jones (NMWC). The holotype is in good condition, glued to the pin along the right side of thorax and with the terminalia dissected and glued to a piece of cardboard pinned with the specimen. Paratypes. Madeira: \$ 1$, [no further locality, but with the number 1948-3011, T.W. Wollaston (BMNH, NMWC); 29, data as holotype (NMWC, ZMUC); North end of Deserta Grande, \Q 19, 18.viii. 1981 , M. Jones (ZMUC, NMWC). Description Male. — Head. Narrowest part of frons 0.25-0.30 X head width. Parafacial plate with a uniserial row of setae along the eyemargin, the lower setae of this row being long and bristly. Post-gena with white setae in about posterior 0.50-0.75 (strict lateral view). Thorax. Proanepisternum setose in about upper half. Chaetotaxy: 3 indistinct pairs of presuturai acrostichals, postsutural acrostichals absent or re-presented by the prescutellar pair only, dorsocen-trals = 3 + 3, intra-alars =1 + 2, supra-alars = 1 + 3, post alars = 2. Scutellum with a pair of apicals, 3-4 pairs of marginals and without discals. Mid femur with 2-3 anteroventral bristles, no postero-ventral bristles. Hind tibia with a sparse row of elongated posteroventral setae. Abdomen. Tergites 3-4 with silvery grey micro-tomentum mainly restricted to anterior half and almost non-changing; interrupted by a median black stripe. Tergite 5 with microtomentum re-duced to narrow strips in antero-lateral position. Terminalia black or blackish brown. Protandrial segment with a row of marginal bristles. Cercus in profile with a distinct subapical dorsal hump. Ae-deagus with very long harpes that terminates in a distinct hook, and a long, terminally bifid juxta. Gonopod with the usual row of long setae along dorsal margin but with some additional setae on the median surface. Length: 8-9 mm (estimated from dissected spe-cimens). Female. — Very like the male apart from the usual sexual dimorphism. Abdominal pattern slightly more changing and with the median black stripe almost absent. Mid femoral organ not differ-entiated. Terminalia red. Tergite 6 broadly arched, the dorsal part reduced to a narrow strip, and mar-ginal bristles only present laterally. Length: 7.0-7.5 mm. 39
