Abstract

Two new records of flat-footed fly Polyporivora picta (Meigen, 1830) (Diptera: Platypezidae) in the Czech Republic and Greece are documented. The distribution of this species in Europe is reviewed based on published records as well as new records presented here. The distributional map of Europe is presented. Larval biology of Polyporivora picta (Meigen, 1830) and rearing made from host fungus Trametes versicolor (L.) Lloyd. is commented and debated. The phenomenon of recent rediscovery of this species in Central and South Europe is discussed.
