Spilogona sanctipauli is a species of fly from the family Muscidae first described by John Russell Malloch in 1921.[1] It has a distribution across the high arctic and is a notable and important pollinator of the mountain avens. The species has been strongly correlated to successful seed setting and may be an integral character in arctic ecosystems.[2]
