| Abstract;The holotype of Sarcophaga asahinai Kano, 1962, which is now preserved in the National Science Museum, Tokyo, is examined and considered to be an aberrant male having vestigial aedeagus. The redescription was made based on the normal form found in the sarcophagid collections made by the late Dr. R. Kano on the same date in the same place as the holotype. The male genitalia of normal form are illustrated and compared with those of the related species of Myorhina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 subgenus Bellieriomima Rohdendorf, 1937. Myorhina (Bellieriomima) asahinai seems to be indigenous to Okinawa-Honto I. and very similar to Myorhina uniseta (Baranov, 1939) from the mainlands of Japan, but the detailed examination of male genitalia can distinguish both species. Dysparaphalla Rohdendorf, 1965 syn. n., which was proposed as a generic name for this species, becomes a junior synonym of Bellieriomima Rohdendorf, 1937. (author abst.) |
