Remarks. Rhamphomyia ( H. ) flava ( R . ( H .) flava group) is broadly distributed across a temperate zone of Europe, including the North-Western and Central regions of the European part of Russia . Our data suggest that the eastern border of the distribution of this species is limited by the Urals (Chelyabinskaya Province). Records of this species from the Caucasus ( Kustov et al . 2009: 124 ; Gladun 2012: 111 ) require confirmation.
