Platurocypta punctum (Stannius) (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) was firstly recorded from Japan based on the adult specimens emerged from a fruiting body of Fuligo septica (L.) (Myxomycetes: Physarales: Physaraceae). We observed the larvae feeding on spores within the fruiting body at Kamigamo Experimental Forest in Kyoto, central Japan. P. punctum may be closely associated with slime molds.
