Hi Dima,

Very beautifull pictures again! This is, I agree with Jere, indeed one of the more beautiful species of Anthomyzidae. In The Netherlands this species has also been rarely collected. There are three specimens in the collection of the Zoological Museum in Amsterdam, and I have seen no other specimens from The Netherlands yet. I have seen it from Germany too, where it was collected by means of pitfall traps.

And Nikita, Anthomyza fasciata is indeed a synonym of Typhamyza bifasciata.
