Hi, I found this male on an arid slope with lots of Quercus pubescens and Cerasus mahaleb and Colutea. It was sitting on leaves. I've never seen a Platypezid in an arid area. Is it Agathomyia?

Lindneromyia hungarica.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains, I, gravity turning to jest, Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes, Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best. |

Wow, a species described only in 2001! Thank You very much for this and recent helps! Is the habitat preference of this fly known? I will go back to that area, Kisgyor (link) in N-E Hungary this spring. I think it has hardly ever been researched dipterologically, but many other interesting insects are recorded there, e.g. Saga pedo. |

Their larvae develop in various fungus Agaricus species, so it is possible to find it on dry meadows as well as in most types of forest since the Agarics are presented, good collecting monts are V, VI, VII. Next time, if you find an agaric fungus, just observe it for a while, sometimes you can observe females laying eggs and it is possible to collect directly from the fungus body.
