Distribution.

Palaearctic species. Recorded in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland. New record for Romania.

Biology.

The species was only recently separated from Lindneromyia dorsalis and their larvae can develop together with those of Lindneromyia dorsalis in the same fruiting body of an Agaricus sp. ( Chandler 2001, Tkoč and Vaňhara 2008). Occasionally, the species can be caught on sporocarps of other fungi, e.g. Roháček and Ševčík (2013) collected one female on Meripilus giganteus in a park of Opava city (Czech Republic). Adults can be found in V–X.
