Male Nemoraea pellucida.
You don’t see that every day.

Thanks a lot, Theo. I am not surprised that it is not an everyday species. The place is quite exceptional. :-)

Really ?
Did you check the old Lundbeck as well and not just your online database ? (Dipter Danica)
(I did not)
In Europe, it is a more eastern species so I was not too surprised to see it from Sjaelland. But still a nice find !

I will try checking it out. But one of our most experienced dipterists, Walther Grist, commented a find from Jutland last year that it "might be the first in Denmark"...

You can find a scan of Lundbeck online
But fauna-eu gives the species for DK and hasn’t been updated for a while ….

Dear Theo,
I was regrettably not familiar with my countryman Lundbeck, but have now downloded the whole treasure of his works, and you were obviously right; Lundbeck reports the species as "not rare" and lists forest localities both in Jutland, Lolland and Zealand, including Faxe Ladeplads where I found it.
Thank you for a most useful hint!

Q.E.D.
Lundbeck is of course outdated, but his work is of pretty high standards. (at least for Tachinidae)
