Systenus mallochi MacGowan - RDB? Reared from material in detritus-filled crevices in oak
trunk in woodland, Morayshire, 1995, new to science. Other material reared from bark
on dead aspen, Cossus elm, and birch rot-holes.
Systenus pallipes (von Roser)* = S.adpropinquans (Loew) = Systenus pallidus Vaillant -
Nationally Scarce. Sap-runs and rot hole detritus in various broad-leaved trees.
Systenus scholtzii sensu auct.Brit.* =S.alpinus - Nationally Scarce. In wide range of broadleaved
trees; reared from damp black wood mould & decaying leaves in rot-hole 10ft
up in ancient beech trunk; also from rot-holes in birch, poplar, horse chestnut and elm;
also reared from fungus in a beech rot-hole; adults probably largely arboreal.
Systenus tener Loew - Associated with a variety of broadleaves, including elm, beech, horse
chestnut and sycamore.
Neurigona - three non-British species from eastern Asia have been reared from decomposing
wood, and one N. American species from rotten hickory wood, but biology in Europe
unknown. Adults are mainly found on tree trunks.
Neurigona abdominalis (Fallén) – RDBI. Rare, less than five British records.
Neurigona biflexa Strobl – RDBI. Known in UK from a single female.
Neurigona pallida (Fallén)*
Neurigona quadrifasciata (Fabricius) - Possibly develops under bark on dead wood.
Neurigona suturalis (Fallén) - Nationally Scarce
Sciapus platypterus (Fabricius)* - Under bark.
Opetiidae
Opetia nigra Meigen* - Has been reared from rotten birch wood in Ireland. Adults also found
in emergence traps on open ground so evidently not confined to wood.
Platypezidae - All larvae develop in fungi; oligophagous or monophagous.
Platypezidae: Callomyiinae
Agathomyia appear to develop internally in the tougher Polyporaceae fungi.
Agathomyia antennata (Zetterstedt) - Probably develops in the fruiting bodies of the fungus
Trametes versicolor.
Agathomyia cinerea (Zetterstedt) - Only recently confirmed to occur in Britain; development
is unknown but presumed to be in polypore or allied fungi.
Agathomyia collini Verrall - RDB2. Possibly develops in fungus on fruit trees.
Agathomyia elegantula (Fallén) = boreella (Zetterstedt) - Nationally Scarce. Biology
unknown.
Agathomyia falleni (Zetterstedt) - RDB3. Larvae feed inside the fungus Bjerkandera adusta.
Agathomyia lundbecki Chandler = biseta misident. - Develops in fruiting bodies of Inonotus
radiatus on decaying alder trunks.
Agathomyia unicolor Oldenberg* - Larvae feed inside the fungus Bjerkandera adusta.
Agathomyia viduella (Zetterstedt)* - Biology unknown.
Agathomyia wankowiczii (Schnabl) - Larvae form galls under brackets of Ganoderma
applanatum; known from various sites in south-east England as well as Dunham
Massey Park, Manchester. Presumed to be a recent establishment as the galls are
conspicuous and records increasing.
Agathomyia woodella Chandler =cinerea misident. - Development is unknown but presumed
to be in polypore or allied fungi.
Callomyia spp - Larva probably surface feeders on encrusting fungi on dead wood; only
amoena has been reared.
Callomyia amoena Meigen* - Larvae feed on the surface of bark encrusting fungi (Corticium
spp.) in damp situations.
Callomyia dives Zetterstedt - Nationally Scarce.
Callomyia elegans Meigen* - RDB2.
