Sepsis biflexuosa Strobl, 1893

Material: Switzerland: BE:Ruppoldsried, 500 m, iv.–x.1987 (leg. Duelli). FR: Nuvilly, 650 m, 2005 (leg. Duelli). GR:Rothenbrunnen, 630 m, 8.viii.1996 (leg. Merz & Bächli). SO:Messen, 500 m, 20.ix.2004 (leg. Wermelinger). VS: Leuk/Platten, 600 m, 3.viii.1998 (leg. Merz &Bächli); Visp, 650 m, 2004 (leg. Duelli).

Distribution:Holarctic, Oceanian, Oriental ( Ozerov 2005).

Comments:This species is relatively rare in Europe but much more common in North America (pers. obs. P. T. Rohner). According to Pont &Meier (2002), this species prefers older cow and buffalo dung, but personal observations do not necessarily support this notion.
