“…In North America, they are major pests of humans and domesticated animals, and are vectors of the agents of livestock and poultry diseases (Barnett 1977;Bennett et al 1993;Schnitzlein & Reichmann 1985;Mead et al 2004). As pests and vectors, black flies have long been the subjects of control programs (Davis et al 1957;Laird 1981;Crump et al 2012).…”

Black flies are a perennial pest problem in New Jersey, and paramount among them are the S. jenningsi group species. Pollution tolerance values are reported for the 39 species of black flies known in New Jersey. Morphologically similar species were identified chromosomally to ensure accurate identification. Species of the same genus varied markedly in tolerance values, questioning the accuracy of generic-level tolerance values for the Simuliidae. An index for predicting the colonization and spread in New Jersey of the Simulium jenningsi group, which includes the major pest species of black flies in the eastern United States, is proposed, with implications for control programs worldwide.
