Material examined
Israel: Mt. Hermon (1600–2000 m), Meron, Zefat, 30.05–8.08, 1965–1992, 12 ♂, 3 ♀ (A. Freidberg, F. Kaplan) (TAU). Turkey: Ankara, Eskesehir Kaymaz (800 m), Kastamonu area, 27.07.1962 (Guichard et Harvey) 3 ♂, 12 ♀ (NHMUK).
Distribution
Middle East: Israel *, Turkey. This species is widely distributed in Palaearctic, from British Isles to Far East.
Habits
Flies are distributed in almost all types of grasslands: from sandy alluvial areas to different types of meadows, grass-plots and outskirts, but prefer mesophitic conditions. Adult flies visit flowers and have been seen feeding on aphids’ excreta. Larvae are inquilines (kleptoparasites) of nests of sphecids: Ammophila sabulosa (Linnaeus, 1758), Argogorytes fargeii (Shuckard, 1837), Bembecinus tridens (Fabricius, 1781), Bembix integra Panzer, 1801, B. rostrata (Linnaeus, 1758), B. tarsata Latereille, 1809, Crabro peltarius (Schreber, 1784), C. scutellatus (Scheven, 1781), Mellinus arvensis (Linnaeus, 1758), Oxybelus bipunctatus Olivier, 1812, O. uniglumis (Linnaeus, 1758), Philanthus triangulum, Prionyx kirbyi (Vander Linden, 1827), Tachysphex nitidus (Spinola, 1805), T. unicolour (Panzer, 1806) and apids: Halictus subauratus (Rossi, 1792), Lasioglossum lucidulum (Schenck, 1861).
