A key to the world genera and a checklist of the world species for the family Polleniidae, including distributions, are provided. The following taxonomic and nomenclatural changes are proposed: Nitellia hermoniella Lehrer, 2007 = Pollenia mediterranea Grunin, 1966, syn. nov., Pollenia bentalia Lehrer, 2007 = Pollenia semicinerea Villeneuve, 1911, syn. nov., Dasypoda angustifrons Jacentkovský, 1941 = Pollenia tenuiforceps Séguy, 1928, syn. nov.; Anthracomyza Malloch, 1928, resurrected name (monotypic; type species Anthracomyia atratula Malloch) is considered a valid name and tentatively assigned to Polleniidae, giving Anthracomyza atratula (Malloch, 1927) as a resurrected combination; Morinia crassitarsis (Villeneuve, 1936), stat. rev. is considered a valid species, and Micronitellia Enderlein, 1936, stat. nov. is considered an available name.
Calliphoridae, Calyptratae, catalogue, cluster flies, key, parasitoids, taxonomy
The family Polleniidae (cluster flies) is a small group of oestroid flies comprising 147 species (
During the last few years molecular data consistently retrieved the Polleniidae (almost always represented only by Pollenia) as sister to the Tachinidae and phylogenetically distant from the ‘core’ Calliphoridae (e.g.,
We recognise 147 species of Polleniidae classified into eight genera (Fig.

Many regional catalogues and keys to polleniid genera (and species) have been published in the recent decades (e.g.,
A dichotomous key to the adults of both sexes was constructed to contain the genera here considered members of the Polleniidae. This means that we are excluding the monotypic genera Wilhelmina Schmitz & Villeneuve, 1932 and Nepenthomyia Kurahashi & Beaver, 1979, both associated with pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes and not considered polleniids. Wilhelmina was considered a possible member of Polleniidae (or Polleniinae, or Polleniini) by
Digital images of the specimens shown in Fig.
The world checklist is based on original literature, though following the papers by
Notwithstanding strong molecular evidence suggesting the monophyly of Polleniidae, members of the group apparently do not share any unique morphological apomorphy. For this reason, it is not possible to provide a simple and clear-cut diagnosis of this oestroid family since several exceptions have to be taken into account once given a common set of characters. Therefore, we refer to
Diagnosis. Small to medium-sized oestroid flies varying from yellow to black in ground colour. Facial sclerite at least weakly carinate [with few exceptions, e.g. Pollenia griseotomentosa (Jacentkovský)]. Stem vein bare dorsally. Anal vein not reaching wing margin. Posterodorsal margin of hind coxa bare. Prosternum and proepisternal depression bare. Postalar wall setose (occasionally bare in small specimens of Morinia). Female: ovipositor sclerite length moderate; sternite 8 of ovipositor elongate with posterior margin entire; cerci long and narrow. Male: ventral and ventrolateral surface of distalmost parts of distiphallus smooth.
A comprehensive phylogeny including all the eight genera recognised as cluster flies is still awaiting, as well as a thorough revision of the family, therefore generic boundaries within this family are still labile due to the absence of molecular evidence and strong morphological characters. For these reasons, we are here applying a traditional generic division without proposing any subfamilial or tribal classification nor any new generic synonyms. We anticipate future rearrangements, such as Dexopollenia synonymised with Pollenia, or the exclusion of Nesodexia. Moreover, the New Zealand Pollenia are still entirely untouched in a phylogenetic context.
