It has been found in Britain, a long time ago. I mentioned it in the press release for the British insect Red Data Book in 1987, and this rare fly found on a dead donkey was the only aspect some of the newspapers mentioned, to my boss' annoyance as he didn't think it properly represented the case for insect conservation.

There is also a record from Isael more recently (1970s?).
