Here is a snippet, for what it is worth. David Clements, the organiser of the UK Picture-winged Flies Recording Scheme, wrote short descriptions of all his species in his first newsletter in 1997. For P. seminationis he wrote: dry grasslands, hedgerows and scrub, usually in calcareous districts. Larvae possibly associated with decaying vegetation. Moderately common and widespread.
