Abstract
AbstractWe provide a thorough historical account of the genusPolleniaRobineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Diptera: Polleniidae) in North America through published records beginning in 1849. From this, we have gleaned insights into their presence on this continent, how they were perceived as pests, and studies of their biology to better frame current work on this genus. Further, we report on our own study ofPolleniaspp. distribution across Canada from our collection of 2211 specimens that include all six North American species collected in seven provinces between 2011 and 2013. We report first provincial records forPollenia angustigenaWainwright, 1940 andP. labialisRobineau-Desvoidy, 1863. We also discuss knowledge gaps and provide suggestions for future research.
