Pupa appears to háve slight differences in branching of respiratory organs ; in Р. ryfipes the 

 common stems of respiratory filaments are usually rather slender. Body length 3.0 — 4.0 mm. 



A mountain or almost submountain species, the time of pupation and emergence of adults 

 ranges from June to July, one generation a year. Blood sucking of females not yet observed. 

 The development occurs on biotopes similar to those of P. hirtipes and P. rufipes; but the time 

 of pupation appears three weeks later. 



Geographica! distribution: Up to now known only from Czechoslovakia. In southern 

 Europe there is a dosely related species P. fulvipes (Edwards, 1921). 



Occurrence in Czechoslovakia: A common species in mountain and highland 

 regions (Beskydy, env. Staré Hamry, Brno highlands). 



Taxonomical notě. The Separation of this species, which is well distinguishable by a form 

 of male hypopygium, was based on a study of type materiál of P. rufipes (Meigen), P. fulvipes 

 (Edwards), P.fuscipes (v. Roser) and P. galii Edwards made by Zwick (1974). The female of 

 P. subrufipes sp.n. differs from P. rufipes in the form of cerci and in the form of sternum 7, 

 the latter character distinguishes P. subrufipes sp.n. also from P. fulvipes. P. galii Edwards is 

 a synonym oí P. rufipes (Meigen).
