Remarks.
Fannia canicularis
is of temperate climates, and it is likely that if it was introduced in the Neotropics from the ships of early explorers, it would not become established. As such, this species is classified as a doubtful record. Supporting this idea, one of the females originally identified by Coquillett was found (in CAS) and tentatively determined as
F. pusio
(A.C. Pont pers. comm.).
