I would greatly appreciate some help with this sciomyzid found this April in S Poland. I have looked through the Sciomyzidae of Scandinavia, but I can't seem to find a perfect match.
Many thanks in advance.

It is Pherbellia silana. Determined by Jiří Preisler.,

One more opinion.
1. I'm not at all convinced that Ph. silana exists.
2. Thus, why it is not old and good Fallen's Ph. ventralis ?

Jiri Preisler noted: At least according to this paper P. silqana is a good species:
Leo Rivosechi (1989)
Fragm. entomol., Roma 21 (2): 153-161
Note sugli Sciomyzidae IX. Due nuove specie del genere Pherbellia
provenienti dallˇItalia meridionale.

Jan, I agree that according to Rivosechi Ph. silana is a good species.
But the shape of genitalia is strongly depended on the angle of view. Thus, it isn't easy to interpret genitalic difference.

I have managed to find Rozkosny's key to the Pherbellia of the Palaearctic and looked at the terminalia at various angles under the microscope. I did not observe the posterior part of the gonostylus to be bifid, which according to the key should mean this is indeed Ph. silana
