Paykullia maculata is a species of fly in the subfamily Rhinophorinae[5][6] first described by Carl Fredrik Fallén in 1815.[7]
Distribution
[edit]This species can be found in most of Europe (Austria, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands) [8][9] Habitats include wetlands, woodlands, parks and gardens.[10]
Description
[edit]Paykullia maculata can reach a length of 5–6 millimetres (0.20–0.24 in). The adults of this species are very variable, especially in size and in the pattern of wing markings.[9] These small flies have a shining black body with bristly hair. The apical half of the wings show darkened veins and costal area.[10][11][page needed][12][page needed]
Biology
[edit]Adults can be seen from May to September, with several generations. Usually they rest or run around on stones or among the foliage.[9] The larvae are intestinal parasites of Porcellio scaber and Oniscus asellus,[10] and woodlice from Protracheoniscus and Trachelipus genera.[9]
