Pericoma trifasciata (Meigen, 1818)

Literature record.

Wagner et al. (2002).

Remarks.

Vaillant (1978) wrote "[ Pericoma] trifasciata ist ebenfalls gemein auf der Mallorca-Insel [...]" (" trifasciata is also common on the island of Mallorca") in the paragraph summarizing the geographical distribution of Pericoma barbarica Vaillant, 1955; this is probably a lapsus as Mallorca is not mentioned in the species account for Pericoma trifasciata . No other records are available in the literature prior to the listing by Wagner et al. (2002), which was based on Vaillant (1978). In Wagner (2004) and the present paper we deem the records from the Baleares to be doubtful and in need of verification through examination of specimens.
