August 26, 2007, Naro-Fominsk, Moscow region, Russia. Under a mixed forest canopy, together with Agathomyia elegantula, A. zetterstedti, Callomyia dives, and still unidentified male and female Agathomyia. Very small, around 1.5 mm. I took it for Anthomyzidae, but Jindřich Roh?ček provided the correct ID. He also writes, it's
...a common mycetophagous species. Its larvae develop in various macrofungi, both in woods and gardens and imagoes can be often seen howering over sporocarps of a fungus.
