Olsen et al., 2018: 144 (little is known about the biology of the species; habitats for Finland are: rich fens, Baltic shore meadow, swampy forests and vegetation rich lake shores (Salmela and Vartija 2007, Autio and Salmela 2010); for Great Britain shady marshy woodland is given (Stubbs & Kramer 2016a), rather than bog as in the closely similar P. squalens (Stubbs 2010); moist forest is given for Latvia, as well as a brook with relatively swift flow, sandy and stony bottom, mosses and riparian forest (Salmela & Vartija 2007); in Norway collected at a reedbed along a vegetationrich pond (see habitat photo); the period of flight is april-june).

Olsen et al., 2018: 144 (belongs to the group of Phylidorea species which are darker coloured and have the dorsal thorax extensively dusted; vein Rs and pterostigma relatively long; similar to P. squalens (Zetterstedt, 1838) but with the basal part of vein Rs more rectangular and usually bearing a vein spur. In the male differing by tergite 9 having a broad open notch, in the female by the basal flagellar segments being longer and bearing erect fine hairs; fig). on distribution (mainly from 2000 onward): Czech Rep.
