05 October 2008, Naro-Fominsk, Moscow region, Russia. That specimen was observed on leaves and near roots of Typha, other females were collected on leaves of Heracleum sosnowskyi, size 4 to 5 mm. I suppose it's a female of G. mongolica (some males were collected there, too), yet males have yellow fore coxae while these females have rather dark (yellowish-black) fore coxae. Maybe someone could check for example Matile, 2002 (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 38:13-16).

According to the keys this should be the female of Greenomyia mongolica
