Abstract
A male of the scuttle fly genus Puliciphora Dahl was found in a sample from a flight interception trap at Dinefwr Estate NNR, Llandeilo, Wales. This is only the fourth Puliciphora record for Britain and the first outside the Oxford area. Dispersal of members of this genus is limited by the flightless females, which are carried by males a few metres to oviposition sites. It seems likely, therefore, that the Welsh occurrence involved transportation by human activity from another source.
