Lifestyle: Unknown.

Larva: The larvae of flies are leg-less maggots without a head capsule (see examples). They never have thoracic or abdominal legs. They do not have chewing mouthparts, although they do have a characteristic cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton (see examples), usually visible internally through the body wall.

Puparium: The puparia of flies are formed within the hardened last larval skin or puparium and as a result sheaths enclosing head appendages, wings and legs are not visible externally (see examples).

Hosts in Great Britain and Ireland: Currently unknown.

Hosts elsewhere: Unconfirmed but probably Carex (Spencer, 1990: 349).

Time of year - larvae: August.

Time of year - adults: Currently unknown.

Distribution in Great Britain and Ireland: Added to British checklist by Cole (in Chandler, 1998: 137).

Also recorded in the Republic of Ireland (Fauna Europaea).

Distribution elsewhere: Widespread in continental Europe including Germany, Denmark (Spencer, 1976: 210), Czech Republic, French mainland, Lithuania and Slovakia (Fauna Europaea).
