Map 3

Colobaea beckeri is a rare species with entirely black anepisternum and anepimeron. It is distinguished from C. distincta by its longer arista and basal flagellomere, wing veins blackish with infumated crossveins, shining medifacies, and by having only the apical segment of the foretarsus white. Colobaea beckeri was described from a specimen collected in Bad Hall, Austria (19 June); Soós (1958) recorded it from Verebély (= Vráble), Czech Republic (22 May). Nothing is known about its biology or immature stages.
