ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1862d: 195 (key), 198 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in collibus agri parmensis [Parmese hills ( Italy)]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (slightly covered with debris and dust, abdomen glued to a cardboard pinned below specimen, terminalia dissected and stored in glycerine in a microvial pinned below the abdomen) ( MZUF: Box 21): Pollenia Desv. / pulvillata Rnd. / 1097 / lectotype ♂, Pollenia pulvillata Rondani, 1862 , des. K. Rognes, 1990 / Pollenia vagabunda Mg. , ♂, K. Rognes des., ‘90.

PARALECTOTYPES EXAMINED: 1 ♂ (head on a separate pin next to the specimen) ( MZUF: Box 21): Pollenia Desv. / pulvillata Rnd. / 1097 / paralectotype ♂, Pollenia pulvillata Rondani, 1862 , des. K. Rognes, 1990 / Pollenia vagabunda Mg. , ♂, K. Rognes des., ‘90; 1 ♂ ( MZUF: Box 21): Pollenia Desv. / pulvillata Rnd. / 1097 / paralectotype ♂, Pollenia pulvillata Rondani, 1862 , des. K. Rognes, 1990 / Pollenia angustigena W., ♂, K. Rognes des., [19]90.

CURRENT STATUS: nomen dubium in Polleniinae ( Schumann 1986: 50) ; junior synonym of Pollenia vagabunda ( Meigen, 1826) ( Rognes 1991a: 365, Pape et al. 1995: 10).

REMARKS: Rondani (1862d: 198) described Pollenia pulvillata from a few males: “ Mares tantum nonnullos legi [I collected only a few males]”. Rognes (1991a: 365) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotypes (2 ♂♂) and reported that one of the males he identified as Pollenia angustigena Wainwright, 1940 “may not belong to the original syntypic material”.
