Apiloscatopse scutellata (Loew, 1846)

Material. Uzhhorod, Onokivtsi, [48.656111, 22.330639], 12.09.2019 – 2.10.2019, trap 1 (U1b): 4 ♀.

Remarks. A common and widespread scatopsid species in Europe, with autumnal flight period. The larvae have been found among leaf-litter, in the upper layer of forest soils and have been described by Haenni (1982). This species had not been recorded from Ukraine so far however at our knowledge. The first record from Ukraine.

These findings bring the number of Scatopsidae species reported from Ukraine ( Haenni, 2013) to nine. No doubt that many other will be recorded with further investigations.

Diptera : Ulidiidae (comments E.P. Kameneva)
