            <p> Pherbellia limbata (Meigen, 1830)</p>
            <p>(Fig. 1 A)</p>
            <p> Sciomyza limbata Meigen, 1830: 17</p>
            <p> Adult rather small, 3–4 mm long. Body mostly greyish pruinose with darkish spots. Front reddish-yellow but face and genae (cheeks) whitish. Mid-frontal stripe absent, ocellar area broadly triangular. Anepisternum bare; anepimeron with two strong setae. Wing very typical of  Pherbellia , with a dark reticulate pattern (the major character by which to distinguish the subgenus  Graphomyzina ), costal area entirely black. Legs mainly dark or brownish; mid- and hind tibiae and tarsi medium red-orange. Male genitalia figured by Rozkošný (1965) and Vala (1989). </p>
            <p> Distribution.  Pherbellia limbata is known only from central and Mediterranean Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Herzegovina, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland and Ukraine. </p>
            <p> Collecting site. Nerudová-Horsáková collected 87 adults of  P. limbata above herbaceous vegetation on 1.VI.2001 at Velká Klajdovka, a limestone steppe near Brno, Czech Republic. At this site,  P. limbata was the only  Sciomyzidae species collected. Curiously, all individuals were found on a very limited portion of the large steppe area where the grass  Festuca valesiaca (Schleich ex. Gaudin) (  Poaceae ) is the dominant vegetation. The soil around the base of each plant was densely inhabited by the terrestrial snail  Granaria frumentum (Draparnaud, 1801) (Gastropoda:  Chondrinidae ) (Figs. 1 B, C). In terms of ecology, this snail is restricted to xerothermic limestone steppes. Other terrestrial snails found at this site included some individuals of the rare species  Cepaea vindobonensis (Férussac, 1821) (Helicidae) ,  Euomphalia strigella (Draparnaud, 1801) and  Xerolenta obvia (Menke, 1828) (the latter both  Hygromiidae ). </p>
