Thanks Roger and igor. It is in Finnish list, google found one record from KWQ, but there are no records in our database.

Can this one be regarded as a rarity? At least here in south-western Finland it is quite common. |

Hi, for me every Hybotid is a rarity except Platypalpus, Taxhydromia, Tachypeza and maybe Hybos  These I found everywher but other Genera I only find 1-2 times a year.Walter Walter Pfliegler - Amateur Nature Photographer from Hungary (and molecular biologist) |

I would not say rare but underrecorded. Recently saw some from a Malaise trap from teh Belgian dunes and I have seen it from pitfall samples as well.

A whole series of this species was present in malaise trap samples from De Kaaistoep (Tilburg, the Netherlands) in 1998. More than 70 specimens. And another series (41 specimens) in malaise trap samples from De Brand (Udenhout, Tilburg, the Netherlands) in 1990.

I got some from South Coast of Finland. (Not in the database yet). It's called Drapetis ephippiata in our list. See: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=27874 Jari |
