Lauxania cylindricornis. I identified one male and three females. Now deposited in the Maastricht Natural History Museum (NHMM).

Hi Paul Would you call there rare then? My assumptions had been that these were not uncommon, but a species I'm yet to collect myself. Mark |

No, I collected them several times in Hungary. In the forest around Budapest you see them quite often.

No, but I collected and observed it always in deciduous forest. In fact in the same areas you may collect the Peplomyza species.

Hi Ruud thanks. that is better than nothing/ I am not not sure if you or other members can help here? I am sure many lauxanid species are host or habitat specific. but there seems very little committed to paper about this. but many dipterists seen to know that a species will only be found on X habitat.. I feel we need to work on this? |

No, Lauxaniidae are not that habitat specific! You have some places in the forests, where you a big group of Lauxaniids of different species. Their maggots live in all kind of decaying plant material it seems.
