1) How accurate is the distribution info on Fauna Europaea?
2) Is there any reason to exclude any of the 3 abovementioned species?


1) It varies, but generally it is limited by the really small amount of dipterists working on faunstics or taxonomy of the Mediterranean fauna. I'd be surprised if we know every species present on Crete.

2. It is not Villa hottentotta. I am not familiar with the other species.
