John G. Stoffolano, Jr. (born December 31, 1939) is an American entomologist specializing in non-biting fly behavior, physiology, and veterinary issues of flies as vectors of pathogens.
Stoffolano was the first to discover the eye worm parasite (Thelazia) found in dairy cattle in the United States and published the paper with the nematologist MayBelle Chitwood. He was also the first to discover a new species of nematode (Heterotylenchus autumnalis, in the face fly, Musca autumnalis, now Perionychium autumnale), which was initially described by William Nickle of the USDA. He joined the faculty of the Department of Entomology at the University of Massachusetts in 1969 and was one of the first N.S.F. postdoctoral fellows, which he took with the insect sensory physiologist, Vincent Dethier. After Princeton for one year (1970–1971), he returned to the University of Massachusetts, where he has been since.[1][2][3][4]
