Etymology.
Named after the Swedish dipterist Oscar Ringdahl (
1885‒1966
), who first collected this species in
Sweden
and
Norway
. His well- preserved specimens from
Sweden
now constitute the
type
material of the new species.
Description.
Very similar to
P. scapularis
and previously not distinguished from that species. The following description outlines the differences.
Male.
Setation on postgena mainly black admixed with some yellowish setae and setulae. All femora extensively brownish black, at the most yellowish on less than basal third of mid and hind femora. Mid femur with 2‒4
pv
setae on basal third shorter, none of them much longer than depth of femur. Long
av
setae on distal half of hind femur (
Fig. 10
) not exceeding
2x
depth of femur where situated.
Hind
tibia (
Fig. 10
) with ground setulae on outer surface less conspicuously enlarged, lower
pd
seta shorter than hind tarsomere 1 and normally without a distal coil, and subapical
d
seta neither straight nor erect. Terminalia (
Figs 36
,
45
,
54
,
63
): Sternite V with lateral setae relatively weak, no stronger than setae on inner lamella of posterior lobes. Postgonite with apical expansion circular, not ovoid. Distiphallus in lateral view more expanded distal to middle.
Female.
Practically indiscernible from
P. scapularis
in other respects than the mainly black setation on postgena admixed with some yellowish setae and setulae. Femora possibly more uniformly yellow, without distinctly darkened apices as in
P. scapularis
.

Distribution.
Europe:
Finland
,
Norway
,
Sweden
. A boreal and subarctic species in Fennoscandia. The species has not earlier been separated from the very similar
P. scapularis
and very likely has a wider, northern trans- Palearctic distribution. A record of
P. scapularis
from
Japan
(
Suwa 1974
,
1999
) may also refer to the present species as judged from the illustrations of the male terminalia. However, the description of the chaetotaxy of the male hind leg is in better agreement with
P. scapularis
and makes this identification unsettled.
