Theo, I can imagine that you was the first to collect it in Pyrynees.  In which part of Pyrynees? |

I think the point is that it isn't necessarily *rare* but so few people collect in the Pyrenees or further south that the area is massively under-recorded. Lots of work (collecting) needs to be done before we can say with any certainty how rare these flies are

I'm sorry, but I said 'might', meaning 'could be'. could be picta, petiolata or iberica, as well. Theo |
