Jakovlev, J. & Polevoi, A. 2008: Two new species of the genus Phronia Winnertz (Diptera:Mycetophilidae) from Finland and Russian Karelia. - Entomol. Fennica 19: 199-206.

Phronia avidoides sp.n. and Phronia fennica sp.n. are described based on several adult males collected by Malaise trapping, sweep-netting and rearing from decaying wood in Finland and Russian Karelia in the period 1989-2005. Detailed illustrations of male terminalia are also presented for three further closely related but poorly known species, Phronia avida Gagne, 1975, Phronia petulans Dziedzicki, 1889 and Phronia subsilvatica Hackman, 1970.
