AULACIGASTRIDAE This family, known from the north of Italy, has a few species in all zoogeographic regions. Only three are found in Europe and all are associated with woodland, particularly forests of Quercus where the larvae develop in exuding sap from the tree trunks. These flies are also occasionally attracted to carrion. Carles-Tolrá & Garcia Rojo (2015) collected three species in Spain using beef liver.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 102, DOI: 10....
