Abstract
Sarcopromusca Townsend, 1927 is a Neotropical genus with two species distributed from Mexico southward to northern Argentina and southern Brazil. In the present paper, the genus Sarcopromusca is diagnosed, an identification key to species is provided, S. sarcophagina (Wulp, 1896) is redescribed and illustrated, and lectotypes are designated for this species and for the type species S. arcuata Townsend, 1927 [= S. pruna (Shannon & Del Ponte, 1926)]. A discussion is presented to clarify the geographic distributions of S. pruna and S. sarcophagina.References
