I have checked with the checklist of Italian fauna and they don't actually list Geomyza nartshukae, which probably means it is particularly rare here. Geomyza tripunctata however is specifically listed in the central region of Italy where I live, so statistically I suppose it is more likely to be the latter, Sarah
