Until now, Asteia amoena Meigen, 1830 was the only species recorded from Sicily. It is very common and widespread in the West Palaearctic. Several other Asteia Meigen, 1830 are also frequently encountered around the Mediterranean coast and the islands. The biology is very poorly known. Some species develop in fungi, flower heads and other plant tissues.
