Description
Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus, 1758)
Published records. Sardinia (Mason & Krivosheina 1995; Rozkošný 2004). Cagliari prov.: Cagliari, city; Elmas (Mason 2005). Carbonia-Iglesias prov.: Isola di Sant’Antioco, Rio Trigo (Mason 2005).
Remark. Numerous records from Italy were recently summarized by Mason (2005) and Adamo (2008).
Distribution. Almost cosmopolitan between 45°N and 40°S, apparently American in origin but spread by commerce (Rozkošný 1983). In the Palaearctic it has been recorded from the Canary Islands, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Croatia, Albania and Turkey, with northernmost localities in southern Switzerland (Üstüner et al. 2003; Rozkošný 2004).
