Vilkamaa, P. & Komonen, A. 2001: Redescription and biology of Trichosia (Baeosciara) sinuata Menzel & Mohrig (Diptera: Sciaridae). - Entomol. Fennica 12: 46-49.

Trichosia (Baeosciara) sinuata Menzel & Mohrig, previously known only from the holotype from Austria, is redescribed and its biology discussed. Individuals of the species were reared from an old-growth forest bracket fungus Fomitopsis rosea (Alb. & Schw.:Fr.) P. Karst from eastern Finland. We suggest that B. sinuata might be parasitised by the ichneumonid wasp Stenomacrus curvulus (Thomson).
