Notes. In Styria one individual of this early spring species was collected on blossoms of Salix spp. (see M. lucifera ), the other individual was caught in a Malaise trap set in a garden at the edge of a row of some older trees (thereunder P. sylvestris (L.), P. abies (L.), Populus spp.). A thermophilous pine-dominated mixed forest was situated nearby. So far, just a few other recent records of this species are known from Austria (Carinthia). About 10 years ago, M. pavlovskyi was reported new to the European syrphid fauna (Bygbjerg 2011). In the same year, Mielczarek (2011) published some records from Poland. Since then, this species has been reported from some other European countries (e.g., Belgium, Netherlands, Slovakia). Previously, this species was only known form the Russia Far East ( van de Meutter et al. 2015). The records from Austria confirm the range shift of this species.
