Greenomyia mongolica (Fig. 19) is known from Mongolia ( Lastovka and Matile 1974 ), Russia ( Zaitzev 1994 ), Estonia, southern and central Europe ( Chandler 2004 , as Greenomyia theresae Matile, 2002, Kurina et al. 2011 ), Spain ( Chandler and Camano Portela 2011 ) and Britain ( Chandler 2008 ). In Nordic countries collected from the southern parts of Sweden and Norway ( Soli et al. 2009 , Anonymous 2010 , Kurina et al. 2011 ). No previous findings from Finland. Ecology Larvae are saproxylic, apparently feeding on mycelia in decaying wood ( Zaitzev 1994 ). Finnish specimens were collected in wood-storage areas in the city parks of Helsinki. Interestingly, a related species, Greenomyia stackelbergi Zaitzev was also found only in semi-urban habitats in Norway and Sweden; in Sweden the larvae had probably developed in a garden compost in which fungal fruiting bodies were regularly discarded by the mycologist M. Karstroem ( Soli and Kjaerandsen 2008 ).
