I have collected a single specimen of Physiphora demandata from Shropshire in the United Kingdom. The only reference I can find to it is in Colyer & Hammond's Flies of the British Isles, where it states that the species is "rarely recorded". I have certainly never encountered it before. Can anyone advise what the likely status of this fly is in the UK?
