Pollenia bicolor Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; un Diptère énigmatique du Midi de la France (Dipt. Calliphoridae)

Summary. — A Calliphorid fly which appears not to have been collected in France for about a century has been found in the eastern Pyrenees. Its genitalia suggest that it bridges the gap between the genera Pollenia Robineau-Desvoidy and Dexopollenia Townsend. It may be a relict of a group once widespread across Eurasia and the Far East. A replacement name, Pollenia malochi nomen novum, is proposed for a Malaysian Pollenia whose specific name is preoccupied by Pollenia bicolor Robineau-Desvoidy.Blackith R.E.
