Genus: Aleochara
Name
Aleochara tristis Gravenhorst, 1806 New Ontario Record – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Material examined
CANADA: ON:Wellington Co., Guelph, field, 20.ix.1984, Brian Wisenden, 1 (DEBU).
Distribution
Canada: ON, QC, NB, NL; USA: CA, MN, NE, PA, VT. Widespread in Palaearctic, Oriental and Afrotropical Regions (Horion 1967[1]; Moore and Legner 1975[2]; Klimaszewski 1984[3]; Klimaszewski and Cervenka 1986[4]; Byers et al. 2000[5]; Smetana 2004[6]; Klimaszewski et al. 2005b[7]; Klimaszewski et al. 2011[8]). Adventive in Canada.
Comments
Aleochara tristis was intentionally released in the United States in 1965 to control populations of Face Fly (Musca autumnalis DeGeer), a nuisance pest of and disease vector for livestock, which breeds in their dung (Jones 1967[9]). In terms of biological control, the introduction appears to be a failure as this species is rarely collected and only as singletons. However, it is most certainly established in northeastern North America at low densities (Klimaszewski et al. 2005b[7], this study).
