Material examined
Holotype ♂, BELGIUM: Destelbergen , 31.x.1916, M. Goetghebuer ( IRSN). BELGIUM: KnockessurMer , Zwijn , 1 ♂, 9.ix.1931, M. Goetghebuer, holotype of P. triappendiculata ( IRSN); SAINT VINCENT: Majorca Estate, SVT 218B, 1 ♂ August 1972, A.D. Harrison, holotype of P. antillaria ( ZMBN, Type no. 33). MONGOLIA: Mount Bogdrhan, 2,400 m a.s.l., holotype ♂ of P. mongolzeaea , 5.viii.1995, H. Suzuki ( NMST, No. 306: 52). In addition material from Canada, China, Columbia, Brazil, Germany, Norway, Thailand, and USA has been examined.
Diagnostic characters
The male imago can be separated from other species with superior and median volsellae by the shape of the accessory lobe of the inferior volsella, and AR of 0.74–1.48, an anal point length of 11–48 µm, and a clearly sinuate Cu 1.
Description The species will be redescribed in a worldwide revision of Pseudosmittia (in prep.). Ecology and distribution
The species is widely distributed throughout the Holarctic and known from the Neotropical region. The record from Thailand is from the highest mountain in the country near Chiang Mai in the north, but still within the Oriental region. Reared larvae are from moist or saturated soils over lateral lines of a septic system in an urban lawn. It is likely that larvae of this species typically inhabit similar types of moist or saturated organically rich substrate.
