Found in Ipswich, Suffolk on 6 Apr 2016.
Keyed to P auriculata using Phil Wither's key.
Is that the right species?

Best wishes,
Martin

With the big facial protubernce and the swollen second palp segment, this is Pneumia nubila (which Withers 1989 places in Pericoma). For live habitus photos of Peripsychoda, see http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=69277.
