Triphleba minuta (Fabricius) - Develops in fungus Gymnopilus junonius which grows on the
base of trees and around cut stumps. Has also been reared from some terrestrial agaric
fungi.
Woodiphora retroversa (Wood) – RDBK. Larval natural history not known, but association
with goat moth larval burrows has been suggested.
Syrphidae
Blera fallax (Linnaeus) - RDB1 & BAP Priority Species. Larvae have been found inside
wet, heart-rot cavities in pine stumps; old native pine forest areas of Speyside.
Brachyopa bicolor (Fallén) - RDB3. Larvae feed on decomposing sap in sap-runs, most often
on oak and beech. A rare species of the old forest areas of south-east England,
especially the New Forest and the Windsor area.
Brachyopa insensilis Collin* - Nationally Scarce. Larvae feed on decomposing sap in sapruns
on various broadleaves: elm, horse chestnut, ash, beech, lime, oak; widespread in
Britain & Ireland.
Brachyopa pilosa Collin - Nationally Scarce. Associated with beech, birch and oak trees in
southern England, but aspen in northern Scotland; a female has been seen to oviposit
into fissures in bark surface of felled beech trunk, where in early steps in development
of scaling of bark under way; puparium has been found under outer layer of bark on a
fallen trunk; larvae feed on decomposing sap in sap-runs. Disjunct distribution:
widespread although scarce in southern England, and also in north-east Scotland.
Brachyopa scutellaris Robineau-Desvoidy* - Larvae feed on decomposing sap in sap-runs
low down at the base of a wide variety of broadleaves and even yew. Widespread in
England and Wales, but more isolated populations in Scotland. Also Ireland.
Brachypalpoides lentus (Meigen)* - Develops in decaying heartwood in old live beech,
particularly trees with exposed decay at ground level which extends into the roots.
England & Wales; scattered across central Scotland; Ireland.
Brachypalpus laphriformis (Fallén)* - Nationally Scarce. Widespread in old forest areas
across much of England and Wales, although apparently absent from East Anglia;
known from Ireland. Larvae develop in rot-holes in large old broad-leaved trees;
adults tend to favour oviposition in standing hollow trunks broken off 2-4m above
ground, particularly beech, but also oak and ash.
Caliprobola speciosa (Rossi) - RDB1. Larvae develop in decaying heartwood of beech trees,
especially large old stumps, extending underground in the roots; southern old forest
species, mainly the New Forest and Windsor.
Callicera larvae probably feed on micro-organisms in their tree rot-hole habitats, the duration
to pupation varying according to fluctuations in food levels.
Callicera aurata (Rossi) - RDB3. Adult primarily arboreal, descending rarely to drink by
dapple-shaded streams or to feed at bramble flowers; larvae in water-filled rot-holes
in live beeches & birches. A rare species of southern old forests in GB; across Europe,
extending into Caucasus.
Callicera rufa Schummel - Nationally Scarce [RDB3]. Larvae in wet rot-holes in large old
Scots pine in old pine forest; will also develop in larch; puparia in fissures and
between plates of bark on host tree; duration of larval stage from 2-5 years. Adults
primarily arboreal, but females descend to freshly-cut stumps in sunshine or to visit
rot-holes; widespread in native pine forest areas of Scottish Highlands and so not
meriting its current RDB status in GB; also reported from Holland and Corsica.
Callicera spinolae Rondani - RDB1 & BAP Priority Species. Ancient beech-oak forest with
overmature and senescent trees; adult primarily arboreal, but descends to feed at
flowers of Angelica, ivy, golden-rod, or to drink at streams; larvae in water-filled rot-
