Elachiptera austriaca Duda, 1932 (male), Chloropidae. After the synonymization of E. uniseta Collin, 1939 with austriaca by Wendt (1999) in the German checklist (she studied the types of both taxa), some authors incorrectly continue to treat both taxa as valid, leading to the inclusion in the Hungarian checklist and the Czech fauna. M.v.Tschirnhaus found specimens with two orbital bristles, too (unpublished). The more southerly distributed and very abundant E. bimaculata (Loew, 1845) differs in possessing an arista which is very acute at its tip (austriaca more sword-like till tip) the cheeks of austriaca are more narrowed in front. The species has been reared from bird nests and had been observed to visit the flower cobs of Typha (Typhaceae), adults also overwinter there.
