I am totaly new to Drosophilids and it's says in Fauna ent Scand that it's never found in Scandinavia before witch is a good indication that i am totaly wrong.

Why not? I collected it in Ukraine in 1980, but still there is no records in the literature... This is an invader, quite an agressive...

Chymomyza amoena indeed. In the Netherlands we found a first specimen in 2003 and now it is found all over the country.

Thanks for confirmation. I have mixed feelings for invasive species.
Found a lengthy article about Chymomyza amoena
Band, H. T. et al. Behavioral constancy for interspecies dependency enables Nearctic
Chymomyza amoena (Loew) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) to spread in
orchards and forests in Central and Southern Europe. Biological Invasions (2005) 7: 509–530.
And Your article about the catch in Netherland.
Records from Estonia
Some records in GBIF from Finland that would be nice to know more about.
But no records from Sweden…
