Differential diagnosis
Cheilosia pagana is a small ( 5–9 mm) and slender species. It is characterized by the bare face, narrow parafacia, bare eye, lunule with distinct medial arm, bicoloured legs, posterior margin of scutellum with setae and shiny sterna. The female stands out amongst those of similar looking species by possessing a very large, bright orange postpedicel ( Fig. 52D).
Material examined
Collected in 2018, 2019 and 2023, but 2018 records were not published in Mengual et al. (2020) We report here all the records.

Genetics
DNA barcodes of C. pagana from several Holarctic localities, including Caucasus specimens, cluster together with high support (BS = 100%).
Biology
During our expeditions, collected between 2 May and 10 August at an altitude between 615 and 2138 m a.s.l. Males were found hovering at a hilltop at 2138 m a.s.l.
Distribution
Palaearctic. Within the Caucasus reported from Georgia and Russia.
