Abstract
The Palaearctic Pollenia haeretica species-group is revised. Two species make up the group: Pollenia haeretica Séguy, 1928 (Algeria, Tunisia, Italy) and Pollenia ibalia Séguy, 1930 (Morocco). Pollenia rungsi Séguy, 1953 is established as a junior synonym of Pollenia ibalia Séguy, 1930, syn. nov. Pollenia funebris Villeneuve, 1933 is treated as a junior synonym of Pollenia ibalia Séguy, 1930, syn. nov., but the name is a junior primary homonym of Pollenia funebris Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863, and therefore permanently invalid. A lectotype is designated for Pollenia haeretica Séguy to fix the interpretation of the name. The syntypes of Pollenia funebris Villeneuve are probably lost.References

Note. In the printed work the spellings “savans” and “savants” both occur. The spelling with a “t” is present on the blue cover of the Smithsonian copy scanned for the Biodiversity Heritage Library (cf. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/creator/7377) and also on the identical “vue” 1 “sur 822” of the edition scanned for the Bibliothéque national de France (BnF) (cf. http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k3307g.image.f1.langFR), apparently a black and white scan of the same cover. The spelling “savans” occurs on the two subsequent “Mémoires …” title pages, and on the bottom of every eighth page in the main text, as part of the expression “2. Savans étrangers.”. The phrase “et imprimés par son ordre:” is usually considered extraneous to the title of the series and not cited, but the Bibliothéque national de France (BnF) considers it an integral part of the title, and this opinion is followed here (cf. http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb328135052/date). It is present on “vue” 1 and “vue” 5 “sur 822” in the cited volume. In the expression “2. Savans étrangers.” at the bottom of every eighth page the words “Savans étrangers” are an abbreviation for the “Mémoires des Savans étrangers”, a term often used for and equivalent to the “Sér. 2.”. The number preceding the text, here “2”, refers to the volume in that series. Thus “2. Savans étrangers.” = “Sér. 2, volume 2.” [literally “volume 2 of Sér. 2”].
