Type species: Gymnoprosopa fulvicornis Coquillett, 1895 View in CoL ; by original designation.

Phrosinella (Euhilarella) : Verves, 1980: 30.

Phrosinella View in CoL : Allen, 1926: 68; Shewell, 1987: 1185 [in key]; Pape and Dahlem, 2010: 1318.

Dark colored midsized flies (5.0–8.0 mm in length). Frontal stripe distinctly more widened than one of parafrontalia; lower margin of head moderately shortened; abdominal tergites with dark spots and stripes; 2nd tarsomere of ♂ fore tarsi with a tuft of long hairs; R 1 bare dorsally; R 4+5 haired from base to the middle of its 2nd section. Seven species in Holarctic.

Habits: The flies occupy the ground-subterranean stratum, being found in the adult stage largely on barren ground; in and about the holes of burrowing Hymenoptera , rarely on low foliage. Larvae develop in hymenopteran ground nests in sandy areas ( Allen, 1926; Evans and O’Neil, 1988).
