During terrestrial surveys for immature and adult rhagionids in northern California (Mendocino county), USA, woodland-grass soils were found to be a breeding source for 8 species of snipe flies: Chrysopilus sp. near anthracinus, c. ? testaceipes, Ptiolina sp. near zonata, Rhagio incisus, Symphoromyia inconspicua, S. nana, S. pachyceras and S. sackeni. Immatures of a Ptiolina sp. near zonata obtained by hand sorting moss-covered soil samples from 1978-1980 yielded 2 adults. This is apparently the 1st time that Ptiolina was reported from the state and that Ptiolina immatures was successfully reared in the Nearctic Region. Adults of 8 rhagionid species were collected in emergence traps from April-July and in Dec. 1980, with emergence densities ranging from 0.04 individuals/m2 for S. inconspicua to 1.30/m2 for Ptiolina sp. Emergence traps also captured miscellaneous dipterans belonging to ca. 48 spp. in 20 families. Incidental to other studies, a single male of an undescribed species of Symphoromyia near truncata was taken in an emergence trap in Contra Costa County.
