According to Evenhuis & Greathead 1999 there is only one member of Bombylella (=ater group) in Europe, i paste the entry below.

Genus BOMBYLELLA Greathead
atra
Bombylius ater Scopoli, 1763.

i presume the change in the specific name results from the transfer to new genus but do not understand latin enough to be sure.
