Bryomyia amurensis
Mamaev & Økland, 1998
Our specimen from
Sweden
fits perfectly the description of
Bryomyia amurensis
by
Mamaev & Økland (1998)
. A distinct character of this species is the uniformly short setae covering the inside of the gonostylus (
Mamaev & Økland 1998: fig. 1D
). This is the first record of
B. amurensis
in the
Western
Palearctic.
Previous distribution.
Russia (Far East), Japan.
Occurrence in Sweden:
Småland.
