The informal name 'Big Yellows' is proposed for a possibly non-monophyletic assemblage of large-bodied, yellow-coloured species of flesh flies found in the Melanesian archipelagoes of Bismarck, Solomon and Vanuatu. The group comprises several species of Sarcophaga Meigen subgenus Sarcorohdendorfia Baranov plus the only species of Sarcophaga subgenus Chrysosarcophaga Townsend. Two new species are described from Melanesia: Sarcophaga (Sarcorohdendorfia) confusio sp. nov. (Bismarck Archipelago: New Britain, Yalom) and S. (S.) narabondxii sp. nov. (Solomon Islands: Nggele Islands). A key to the species of this group is provided, and their distribution is summarised. The subgenus Sarcorohdendorfia is diagnosed, and the presence of a single row of downward-facing setae along the ventral margin of the mesopleural anatergite is suggested as an important diagnostic feature. Sarcorohdendorfia Baranov, 1938 is proposed as a senior synonym of Omarisca Kurahashi, Tan & Leh, 2021, syn. nov., and Chrysosarcophaga whitneyi Curran, 1936 is proposed as a senior synonym of Sarcorohdendorfia imitatrix Baranov, 1938, syn. nov. Sarcophaga aureolata Pape & Kurahashi, 2000, S. pattoni Senior-White, 1924 and S. saprianovae Pape & Bänziger, 2000 are transferred from the subgenus Lioproctia Enderlein, 1928 to the subgenus Sarcorohdendorfia Baranov, 1938.
建议将“大黄蝇”作为一个非正式名称，用于指代在俾斯麦、所罗门和瓦努阿图的美拉尼西亚群岛发现的一群可能并非单系的大型黄色麻蝇物种。该类群包括麻蝇属（Meigen）的Sarcorohdendorfia Baranov亚属的几个物种，以及麻蝇属的Chrysosarcophaga Townsend亚属的唯一物种。描述了来自美拉尼西亚的两个新物种：混淆麻蝇（Sarcorohdendorfia）新种（俾斯麦群岛：新不列颠岛，亚洛姆）和纳拉邦德希麻蝇（S. (S.) narabondxii）新种（所罗门群岛：恩盖勒群岛）。提供了该类群物种的检索表，并总结了它们的分布情况。对Sarcorohdendorfia亚属进行了诊断，并提出在中胸后侧片腹缘有一排向下的刚毛是一个重要的诊断特征。提议将1938年的Baranov的Sarcorohdendorfia作为2021年Kurahashi、Tan和Leh的Omarisca的次异名，新组合；并提议将1936年Curran的Chrysosarcophaga whitneyi作为1938年Baranov的Sarcorohdendorfia imitatrix的次异名，新组合。2000年的金黄麻蝇（Sarcophaga aureolata）、1924年的帕氏麻蝇（S. pattoni）和2000年的萨普里亚诺娃麻蝇（S. saprianovae）从1928年Enderlein的Lioproctia亚属转移到1938年Baranov的Sarcorohdendorfia亚属。
