Periscelididae

PERISCELIDIDAE Two relatively recent papers give detailed taxonomic accounts of the subfamily Periscelidinae in the West Palaearctic (Papp & Withers 2011; Roháček & Andrade 2017). This subfamily is associated with forests where larvae are thought to develop in sap exuding from deciduous trees.Published as part of Ebejer, Martin J. & Nicolosi, Giuseppe, 2022, New records of acalyptrate Diptera from Sicily (Brachycera, Muscomorpha: Asteiidae, Aulacigastridae, Carnidae, Lonchaeidae, Odiniidae, Pallopteridae, Periscelididae, Piophilidae, Sciomyzidae, Ulidiidae), pp. 101-104 in Fragmenta entomologica 54 (1) on page 103, DOI: 10.13133/2284-4880/766, http://zenodo.org/record/814805
