Ptiolina is a genus of snipe fly of the family Rhagionidae,.[1] Examples are found in Northwest Europe, where it prefers woodlands areas.[2] and North America [3]
Some authorities place this genus in the family Spaniidae Nagatomi, 1975, this move has not however yet gained much widespread acceptance.[4]
Ptiolina species are delicate to fairly robust flies, and from 3 to 10 mm. They are entirely black or brown in colour.
