This primarily western Palaearctic species is the infamous coffin fly, but it is not restricted to breeding in buried human corpses (Disney, 1994b). Whether its occurrence in the Azores and the Canary Islands and the occasional Nearctic record is due to introductions by man is not known. Its presence in Tasmania is almost certainly due to man .
