Classification: Madiza glabra
Larvae are coprophagous (Lyvchiev & Tsankova 1982), also living in bird's nests (Kristofik et al. 1996, Krivokhatskii & Nartshuk 2001) and adults visit composit (Stackelberg 1958) and umbelliferous flowers (Carles-Tolrá 1995, 2004) as well as pollinate Asclepiadaceae (Bertsch 1975).
In Greece specimens were collected in March-September in Malaise traps; 40-1600 m.
Medioreclinate posterior orbital seta short or indistinct. Proboscis longer than height of head. Frons shiny. Gena broader than basoflagellomere. Longest axis of head between occiput and vibrissal angle. Anterior dc shorter than half length of posterior one. Tergite 1-4 shiny. (Papp 1993)

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.
