Hi all, I have 2 male specimens collected in May 2021 in Romania, and I think they are P. funebris. Can anyone confirm it? Also as far as I know this genus was not recorded in Romania until now.

Certainly looks like one, but May is very late for this species in Roumania.

Those specimens were indeed P. funebris and a short note about this genus in Romania can be read here:

Unfortunately, your statement that fubebris is not mentiined for NL is incorr3ct. It is mentioned, hoewever not as Bibionidae but as member of the family Pleciidae.

Hello, the statement there is correct. P. funebris is not mention from Romania, Italy and Netherlends in the recent world catalogue of Penthetria published by Fitzgerald (2021), although this species was recorded before in those 3 countries. This is the all context of that statement.
