Oligochaetes and cluster flies

Hello folks,

A question for those with an oligochaete background or with direct 
experience of these flies!

Does anyone know any interesting biology or have information sources on the
cluster flies, Pollenia, or other dipterans, in relation to earthworm
parasitism, updated beyond what I see in Stephenson 1930:654?

What are cluster flies? Further info at:   
http://ctr.uvm.edu/ctr/el/el11.htm

Apparently Pollenia pseudorudis  made its way to New Zealand in the 
recent past. I am uncertain whether the colonisers  established or died 
out.
