Distribution. France, Kazakhstan, Russia (eastern Siberia), Switzerland ( Negrobov & Naglis 2016) and Czech Republic (present paper).

Status in CZ. The first records are given herein.

Ecology. It is very likely that M. kerzhneri is a soil-dwelling species like related species; e.g., M. micacea Loew, 1857 and M. mixta Negrobov, 1967 .

Remarks. This species is very closely related to M. mixta from which only males can be separated by the much shorter and thinner epandrial setae.
