Austrolimnophila ochracea (Meigen)* - Common species, developing in dead wood, even
small pieces, in woodlands.
Epiphragma ocellare (Linnaeus)* - Develops in hard dead wood in long-established
woodland.
Achyrolimonia decemmaculata (Loew) - Larvae develop in dead wood invaded by fungi,
polyphagous in Polyporaceae, Meruliaceae and Thelephoraceae. Mainly southern, but
extends into Scotland.
Atypophthalmus inustus (Meigen) - Nationally Scarce. Has been reared from decaying
Merulius tremellosus fungus.
Discobola annulata (Linnaeus) - RDB3. Has been reared from the bracket fungi Fomes and
Pholiota, and various terrestrial fungi. Known only from the Scottish Highlands.
Limonia phragmitidis (Schrank) = tripunctata (Fabricius) - Lowland broad-leaved woods on
good soils; larvae normally in soil overlain by leaf-litter but has been reared from
various bracket fungi - Laetiporus sulphureus and Inonotus hispidus in
Gloucestershire.
Lipsothrix ecucullata Edwards - RDB3 & BAP Priority Species. Larvae have been reared
from wet decaying wood. Confined to Scottish Highlands, where it occurs at
seepages in non-acid woodland.
Lipsothrix errans (Walker)- Nationally Scarce & BAP Priority Species. Larvae have been
reared from wet decaying wood; wooded streamsides in upland Britain.
Lipsothrix nervosa Edwards – Endemic & BAP Priority Species. Woodland seepages,
especially in carr, where larvae probably in lying rotting wood; southern species.
Lipsothrix nigristigma Edwards - RDB1 & BAP Priority Species. Females have been
observed laying eggs in barkless ash branches in a log jam in streams near Ironbridge,
Shropshire, 1994; only other known British record is from 1924 at Clapton-le-Dale,
Lancashire.
Lipsothrix remota (Walker)* - Develops in wet dead wood in seepages and carr, and in wet
ground by streams.
Metalimnobia bifasciata (Schrank)* - Develops in a wide range of fungi – polypores,
encrusting species, boleti and gill fungi, terrestrial as well as wood-decay.
Metalimnobia quadrimaculata (Linnaeus) - RDB2. Larvae in a wide variety of bracket fungi
on trees in broad-leaved woodland.
Neolimonia dumetorum Meigen* - Larvae in very rotten dead wood of various broadleaves;
woodland and fenland species.
Rhipidia ctenophora (Loew)* - RDB2. Broad-leaved woodlands, where the long almost
transparent larvae have been reared from a wide range of dead wood situations, incl.
rot-holes, sap and rotting stumps; elm, horse chestnut and sycamore. A few scattered
localities from southern England north to Yorkshire.
Rhipidia maculata Meigen =duplicata misident. - Has been reared from an oak rot hole.
Rhipidia uniseriata (Schiner) - RDB3. Larvae in dead and decaying timber in old broadleaved
woodland and hedgerows; rot-holes; elm, beech, birch, oak. Southern &
Midland England.
Bibionidae - Bibionid larvae develop in the soil and some have been reared from rot-hole
material and wood in the advanced stages of decay. These are true soil species and
cannot be considered as true wood-decay species. The following have all been reared
from wood decay: Bibio clavipes Meigen, Bibio hortulanus (Linnaeus), Bibio marci
(Linnaeus), Bibio nigriventris Haliday, Bibio pomonae (Fabricius), Bibio venosus
(Meigen), Bibio varipes Meigen, Dilophus febrilis (Linnaeus), and Dilophus
femoratus Meigen.
