Sylvicola notatus, also known by the common name outhouse fly, [1] is a species of wood gnat in the family Sylvicola. It is endemic to New Zealand.
The species was first described by Frederick Hutton in 1902, who named the species Rhyphus notatus. [2]
Hutton described the species as follows:
Reddish-tawny, the flagellum of the antennas dark-brown. Thorax with five brown stripes, the middle one shorter than the lateral pair; scutellum and metanotum brown. Tips of the femora and tibiae brown. Halteres pale-yellowish. Wings pale brownish; the pterostigma and the tip, from the discal cell outwards, darkish-brown. A distinct round white spot in the submarginal cell, and another, touching it, in the first posterior cell. A brown spot in the anterior basal cell, and another on the chief cross-vein. Posterior cross-vein bordered with brown. Veins brown. [2]
The species body is 6 millimetres long, with a wing length of 6 millimetres. [2]
The species is found widely across New Zealand. [2]
