A review of scuttle fly genera of Israel (Diptera: Phoridae), with new records and an identification key Author Mostovski, Mike B. text Zootaxa 2016 4137 1 61 72 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4137.1.4 1c6ab101-fab1-442b-aa9a-93f1824f298d 1175-5326 264841 722D15D8-4320-4034-A587-034A589DAA8F Puliciphora rufipes Silva Figueroa, 1916 Material. Israel : 1♂ Almagor [ 32°55'N 35°36'E ], 7–30.iv.2011 , W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap. Remarks. This presumably Neotropical species (Disney, 1988) also occurs in South Africa (Disney, 1988; Mostovski, 2004 ), Zimbabwe (Disney pers. comm. teste Carles-Tolrá, 2002 ), south-western France ( Disney, 1993 ), Andorra ( Carles-Tolrá, 2007 ), north-eastern and southern Spain ( Carles-Tolrá, 2002 ; Vela et al. , 2011 ), Madeira ( Disney & Franquinho Aguiar, 2008 ) and the Canary Islands (Disney et al. , 2010). With its Israeli record, the distribution of P. rufipes becomes somewhat puzzling and prompts further investigation, which, however, falls beyond the scope of the present paper. The species is often found in association with dead animal matter (l.c. and references therein).
