xanthocera (Wiedemann), 1830: 329 (Tachina).

Type locality: “ Brazil ”. LT F (ZMUC).

Distr.: Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Guyana, Brazil and Peru (Guimarães, 1971a; Coelho et al., 1989). Refs.: Townsend, 1931b: 175 (type notes); Reinhard, 1931: 44 (redesc., key); Guimarães, 1971a: 198 (cat.); Coelho et al. 1989: 281 (rev., key to South American species). Comm.: Townsend (1931b: 175) cited the female type specimen deposited at Copenhagen museum as holotype [= lectotype], while the other female at Wien as paratype [= paralectotype]. Reinhard (1931: 44) listed Exorista ochracea Wulp, 1890, E. rubricornis Wulp, 1890, and E. sororcula Wulp, 1890 as junior synonyms of xanthocera, but Guimarães (1971a) in the Neotropical catalogue treated xanthocera without those names under synonymy. This species is not recorded to Colombia, but is likely to occur in the country.
