Remarks.
This is the most derived representative of the
Anthomyza bellatrix
group. Its sister species,
A. bellatrix
Roháček, 1984
(known from adjacent
North Korea
,
Japan
: Honshu and
Russia
: Kuril Is., see
ROHÁČEK 2006
) is likely to be found in
China
.
Biology.
Insufficiently known despite the species being common in
Japan
(see
SUEYOSHI & ROHÁČEK 2003
). In
South Korea
the species was most frequently swept from undergrowth of forests but it was also found in grassland and ruderal habitats (
ROHÁČEK 2006
). Recent unpublished records from
Japan
(M. Tkoč leg.) indicate that the species is associated with larger grasses in forests. The flight period of adults is long (April–October).
Distribution.
The above first records from
China
(
Sichuan
) demonstrate that
A. trifurca
is apparently widespread in the E. Palaearctic area and reaches far to the south. It has otherwise been recorded only from
Japan
(
Hokkaido
, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu),
North Korea
and
South Korea
(
ROHÁČEK 2006
,
2009
).
