Joerg, I check it and in the manuscript of the “flies with three pulvilli of northwest Europe”, to be published later this year, it is mentioned as “ old records from eastern Germany till the 1970s”. So the current status of H. taradin is / was extinct for Germany! Please note your picture shows a male and females might wander off hunderds of kilometers, but males don’t. So there has to be a breeding site near your location, a marsh or a fen with marshhy borders. So it would be great if you could think this over and try to find more specimens. It will fly probably all of June. Greetings. Theo |

Hi Joerg and Theo, the recent records from the westernmost Bohemia were published in 2013. I can send you PDF via e-mail, if you wish. Libor |

Great, Libor, that would be interesting. Please note, however, that Bohemia is not formally included in the aforementioned fieldguide. hannover is ! Theo |

Hi Theo and Libor, thanks for your participation. I will try to find more specimens of the species this year. Maybe I will write an article about my find. Thank you Libor for your offer, I just downloaded your publication from researchgate. Greetings Joerg |
