Description
121. Sciophila parviareolata Santos Abreu, 1920 **
Material examined. S3 16–30.V.06 1 ♂.
Chorotype. Type 3 [1.03 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. In Europe south-westerly (Britain, Portugal and Spain), but also known from the Canary Islands, Gough Island in the South Atlantic and New Zealand, where it appears to be a recent introduction (Toft & Chandler 2004) and one male was recently recorded from Iceland (Kjaerandsen et al. 2007b).
Italian distribution. Sardinia only.
Ecology. Unknown but most British records of this species are from indoors and it has been suggested that it might be associated with fungi on household timbers, which may also account for its unusual distribution. The Sardinian specimen was collected at Valle Oridda, in a habitat characterized by secondary garrigue-type vegetation. The Iceland specimen was collected in a birch wood.
Notes. Chandler (2001) recognised that this species was distinct from S. hirta Meigen, 1818 with which it had been synonymised by Zaitzev (1982).
