This is an excellent find for a Northern European country. If you could spare a couple of pairs for my studies I would be most grateful.

I am almost certain that you have found Apolysis szappanosi Papp, 2005 (Fourteen species of Diptera new to Hungary, Folia Ent. Hung.. 66 261-276). As far as i know still only known from Hungary.

In his paper Papp also mentions a second Apolysis sp. nov from Greece which is very similar. I have specimens of this Greek species so it would be very useful to compare with your specimens.

could you put a photo of a male up?

Ok, so we can cooperate with this case.
When I back to my home I will try to add another photo

I will write more in PM

I have now dissected both male and female of Lukasz's specimens and am quite sure that they are A. szappanosi Papp. I am also confident that they are different from the species found in the Mediterranean. (graeca of Papp).

Well done and congratulations Lukasz and David
