Pollenia pediculata Macquart

Description

Pollenia pediculata Macquart

Pollenia pediculata Macquart, 1834: 155

Pollenia pediculata: Whitworth, 2006: 723

One specimen of this species was seen from Bahamas, Eleuthera Island, Rainbow Bay (FSCA). The presence of P. pediculata in Bahamas is almost certainly the result of an introduction. See key to the Nearctic species of Pollenia in Whitworth (2006) to identify specimens encountered. See note under Phormia regina.
