Identity of the previously unrecognized Chetogena flaviceps and its synonymy with C. scutellaris (Diptera: Tachinidae)

Author

Abstract

The single type specimen of the unrecognized species, Chetogena flaviceps (Bigot), was examined and found to be a subjective senior synonym of the well-known New World species of Chetogena scutellaris Wulp. The genitalia of the holotype was dissected and illustrated in detail. A redescription of C. scutellaris, including the male genitalic characters is provided.
