As far as I understand it is Antichaeta nigra, female. If so, it is very rare species known for original description (1921 Poland), 1 male golotype (1935 Finland) and 1 female (1977 Russia, near S-Petersburg). Collect more, please!!! Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Two specimens have since been found in Finland, one male by me (2002, near Helsinki, a willow carr) and one specimen by Kaj Winqvist (2006 Turku, a coastal Alnus glutinosa forest). Kahis |

I'll try anyway (maybe I'll be lucky again as with Pteromicra and Colobaea found quite nearby). |

Could you tell me, Jere, dates of collecting A.nigra in Finland? Early June: June 2nd, June 7th. Last year I collected one male with a Malaise trap (27.5.-7.7), again from a nice Alnus glutinosa forest with pools of water and a small stream. Kahis |

There are recently 3 places in northwest Germany known. The species seems to be not too rare in wet Alnus forests, flying very early (April-May). I guess it is often overlooked. Jens-Hermann |

"April-May" sounds about right, since spring is about one month late in southern Finland in comparison with NW Germany.
