Collected by sweeping over dry grass and soil in our town park near the river. Size 2.5 to 3 mm. And here's what Jindřich Roháček says: This species is easily recognizable as it is the only taxon of European Copromyzinae lacking apical spur on hind tibia. It is Lotophila atra (Meigen, 1830), a very common polysaprophagous (mainly coprophagous) species, originally probably Holarctic, now subcosmopolitan in distribution.
