Moin moin from germany,
I found this fly in May about 80 km west from Potsdam (D-14793 Struvenberg) on an appletree. How rare are these about 10 mm long flies in europe and ofcourse in Eastgermany (Brandenburg)? Date: 26.05.2008.

Lars,

I think you should refrase the question:

How rare is it in Germany.

Probably between just rare and extremely rare.

In the Netherlands, only very few recods, of which 1 recent.

Don't know about Germany, sorry, but 2008 was probably a great year for the species, at least in Belgium : three of us (on the Photentomo discussion list) made separate observations within two weeks of each others this year...

Hi Lars

Try and contact Dr. Matthias Jentzsch ( m_jentzsch AT yahoo DOT de ) who collected a great deal of faunistic data on Stratiomyidea in eastern Germany.
