Pterostigma brown with one hyaline spot in the middle, radial fork brownish, cell r1 hyaline at very basal part and distally brown, small hyaline spot present at the level of apex of vein Sc, with (3-)4 apical hyaline spots that separated by brown rays, the posterior fused with subapical spot in cell r2+3; br hyaline in basal one third except two brownish and narrow spots, the first one at the level of humeral crossvein and the second is a ray from middle part of bm to anterior margin of the wing, in apical two third completely dark, with one round hyaline spot at the level of apex of r1 that touching vein M; cell r4+5 with round hyaline spot touching vein M or near it, at or near level of dm-cu, and long apical spot bordered by 2 narrow apical rays extending to apices of veins R4+5 and M, two anterior and posterior subapical hyaline spots in r4+5 extending cells r2+3 and m cells respectively. Cell bm and bcu hyaline, with brown pattern in apical part. Cell dm completely brown, with three small spots (one proximal, one in the middle and one subapical, all of them near Cu1 vein), and one large round hyaline spot at the level of r-m crossband.

Measurements. Female. Body length 4–5.4 mm, wing length 3.75–4.5 mm, aculeus length 1–1.2mm; Male. Body length 3.9–4.3 mm, wing length 3.5–4.3 mm.

Distribution. Germany ( Boie 1847; Merz 1999a), The Netherlands ( Kabos & Aartsen 1984; Smit 2010); Sweden ( Fallén 1820; Zetterstedt 1847), Denmark ( Zetterstedt 1847), Finland ( Persson 1958; Kaganpaa & Winqwist 2014), Czech Republic ( Dirlbek & Dirlbek 1985; Kinkorová 1997; Heřman, & Kinkorová 2009), Hungary ( Mihályi 1960), Poland ( Nowakowski 1991), Lithuania ( Pakalniškis et al. 2006), Ukraine ( Jaroszewski 1876; Kryshtal 1949; Korneyev 1983; 2004); Turkey ( Zaitzev 1947; Koçak & Kemal 2013); Georgia ( Zaitzev 1947); Armenia ( Zaitzev 1947); Azerbaijan ( Zaitzev 1947); Iran: West Azerbaijan ( Zaitzev 1947); Ardabil, East Azerbaijan, Tehran, Mazandaran (this study); Kazakhstan ( Richter 1965), and Kyrgyzstan (this study).

Host plants. Unknown. This species is collected only in association with Helichrysum arenarium (L.) Moench ( Zetterstedt, 1847: as Gnaphalium arenarium ; current study), which is a possible host plant. Flies have never been reared from the flower heads, which can imply that they live either in stems or in rhizome, possibly as gall-formers.

Remarks. This species occurs in the Baltic countries exclusively in dry and well-insulated sand dunes. In the southern part of its distribution, from Caucasian countries and Iran to Kyrgyzstan, its possible host plant prefers grasslands on the slopes of hills and low mountains with medium or moderately low humidity. In Ukraine, it occurs in both dunes and warm and moderately dry undisturbed meadows or steppes. In the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, the records of H. guttata are based on almost 150-year old specimens.
