Material. 1♀, Bertrange , 11.V.1974, A. Mousset lgt. ( MNHNL138554 ) .

Note. A small mycetophagous species widespread and abundant throughout all adjacent regions ( Everts 1903; Libbrecht 1988; Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Lillig 1999; Thomaes et al. 2025). Formerly regarded as rare in Lorraine ( Géhin 1846; Fournel & Géhin 1847; Godron 1863), the species is no longer considered so ( Soldati 2007). In Luxembourg, records are available only from the Guttland, but the species is expected to be widespread across the whole country.
