Biology. Unknown.

Remarks. Species identified using Povolný and Verves (1986). Sarcophaga ( Heteronychia) pandellei was by far the most common species of the subgenus in the study area. Males collected at site C23 on 24.V.2006 were attracted to a bait consisting of decaying meat on a bone, whereas the male from C27a was collected near a rubbish container in the centre of the small town of Gonnosfanadiga. These observations indicate that the species is partly synanthropic; this is unusual for species of Heteronychia , which are usually associated with natural environments and are rarely mentioned among the typically synanthropic Sarcophaga , although Rohdendorf (1959) mentioned S. ( H.) plotnikovi Rohdendorf, 1925 , S. ( H.) shnitnikovi ( Rohdendorf, 1937) and S. ( H.) turana ( Rohdendorf, 1937) as showing synanthropic features in Central Asia. Sarcophaga ( Heteronychia) pandellei was already recorded from Corsica ( Pape 2004a) .
