Abstract
This paper presents new data on Sarcophaga (Heteronychia). Six species are described as new: Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) anatolica sp. nov. from Asiatic Turkey, S. (H.) lejlekensis sp. nov. from Kyrgyzstan, S. (H.) mediterranea sp. nov. from mainland Italy, Sicily and Croatia, S. (H.) rosellensis sp. nov. from central Italy, S. (H.) tetrix sp. nov. from Sicily, and S. (H.) tunisiae sp. nov. from Tunisia. Two new replacement names are proposed: Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) hellenica, nom. nov. for S. (H.)vervesi (Povolny, 1996) (junior secondary homonym of Kozlovea vervesi Nandi, 1993), and S. (H.) tangerensis, nom. nov. for S. (H.) arnica (Peris et al., 1998) (junior secondary homonym of Phallosphaera arnica Ma, 1964). Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) belanovskyi (Verves, 1973), S. (H.) helenae (Trofimov, 1948) and 5'. (H.) nanula (Povolny, 1999) are resurrected as valid, anc^ the last (originally proposed as a subspecies) is given species rank. Sarcophaga amita Rondani, 1860 and S. bezziana Bottcher, 1913 are transferred from subgenus Discachaeta Enderlein to subgenus Heteronychia Brauer & Bergenstamm, subg. comb. nov. Thirty-nine new synonymies are established: Shoachaeta Lehrer, 1997 with Heteronychia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889, syn. nov.; Ashlaiana Lehrer, 1998 with Heteronychia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889, syn. nov.; Heteronychia iubita Lehrer, 1999 with Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) ancilla Rondani, 1865, syn. nov.; Spatulapica lucentina Lehrer & Martinez-Sanchez, 2001 with S.

(H.) boettcheri Villeneuve, 1912, syn.nov.; Pandelleola caraormana Lehrer, 2008 with S. (H.) boettcheri Villeneuve, 1912, syn. nov.; Heteronychia (Heteronychia) morenita Peris, Gonzalez-Mora & Mingo, 1998 with S. (H.) chiquita (Peris, Gonzalez-Mora & Mingo, 1998), syn. nov.; Heteronychia cullottorum Povolny, 2005 with 5. (H.) consanguinea Rondani, 1860, syn. nov.; Heteronychia (Eupierretia) spatulifera Chen & Lu, 1981 with S. (H.) curvifemoralis (Li, 1980), syn. nov.;
