Distribution:Holarctic ( Ozerov 2005).

Comments:This species is widespread and can be locally very abundant. It is apparentlyspecialized on cow dung ( Pont &Meier 2002). Small specimens can be mistaken for S. biflexuosa or S. nigripes ,but can be differentiated from the latter two mainly by the characteristic beak-like shape of the hypopygial surstylus in both lateral and posterior views (e.g.: Pont &Meier 2002; Rohner et al. 2014).
