Remarks. Povolný (1999) described this taxon as a subspecies of Heteronychia rohdendorfi (= S. (H.) lederbergi), and Pape (2004a) subsequently synonymized it under S. (H.) lederbergi . After examining the holotype, paratypes, and a few additional specimens, I consider nanula as a valid species of Sarcophaga (Heteronychia), possibly more closely related to S. (H.) depressifrons than to S. (H.) lederbergi . It differs from the former by the denser microtrichosity of the thorax and abdomen (which makes it appear of a lighter grey colour), the white occipital setulae behind the first two rows, the light red epandrium (usually black/dark brown in S. depressifrons) and the wider tip of juxta in dorsal/apical view (compare Figs 64–65). It differs from S. lederbergi by the narrower and shorter lateral styli and the narrower juxtal tip in dorsal/apical view.
