Pseudopomyzidae McAlpine, 1966 |
The family Pseudopomyzidae comprises minute to small (1.7–5.5 mm), dark-coloured acalyptrate flies; formerly they have been treated as a subfamily of Cypselosomatidae [1]
Biology
The biology of pseudopomyzines is very poorly known. Most species are from the New World and Asia. [2] There is only one European species, Pseudopomyza atrimana ( Meigen, 1830), which occurs in woodland, and adults have been found to gathering over rotting logs or attracted to the freshly cut and sappy stumps or logs of deciduous trees. [3]

Fossils
The fossil record is very poor, with only one specimen of the species, Eopseudopomyza kuehni Hennig, 1971, which has been recorded from Baltic amber.
