here I never saw even ONE Sciomyzidae. But I did find them in Serra da Estrela, for example, where they are common. Are they sensitive to the polllution? Another place I found a beautiful sciomyzid in Apulia beach - not so far from Viana do Castelo.

Phil Thanks for the answer !
And Jorge.... in the Netherland, the are known as snailkillers.
Larvae attacks snails and adults are mostly found near water, humid vegetation or in herbaceous or grassy vegetations (info thanks to Checklist of the Diptera)
(But I do not have a key for Sciomyzidae, so I dont know the differents between species)
