Classification: Desmometopa microps
In Greece specimens have been collected in June/July with Malaise and yellow pan traps as well as banana trap in Quercus and Ostrya tree; 190-905 m.
Male postorbital area, which extends broadly to the vertex, is convex and together with the similar postgenal area can best be described as bulging. Females of D. microps are easily confused with those of D. sordida, but the postorbital area is clearly broader in D. microps. (Sabrosky 1983)

Classification: Desmometopa; Desmometopa microps
The Milichiidae fauna of Greece is virtually unknown, with only Desmometopa m-nigrum, Leptometopa rufifrons and Milichia pubescens (Brake 2000) recorded. However, thanks to the efforts of Gordon Ramel, who maintained several Malaise as well as other traps near Lake Kerkini in northern Greece, close to the border to Bulgaria, this has now changed. Sadly the first parcel with specimens sent to me was lost, so that the absence of data for some traps and times as well as the low numbers in some traps are not necessarily reflecting the original collection.
