Why not? I collected it in Ukraine in 1980, but still there is no records in the literature... This is an invader, quite an agressive...

Chymomyza amoena indeed. In the Netherlands we found a first specimen in 2003 and now it is found all over the country.

Thanks for confirmation. I have mixed feelings for invasive species. Found a lengthy article about Chymomyza amoena Band, H. T. et al. Behavioral constancy for interspecies dependency enables Nearctic Chymomyza amoena (Loew) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) to spread in orchards and forests in Central and Southern Europe. Biological Invasions (2005) 7: 509530. And Your article about the catch in Netherland. Records from Estonia Some records in GBIF from Finland that would be nice to know more about. But no records from Sweden |
