Abstract

Last seen in France in 1836 by Robineau-Desvoidy, the orange-headed necrophagous fly Thyreophora cynophila (Panzer, 1798) has long been considered as extinct. However, it was rediscovered in 2010 in Spain. We report its first sighting in France after a 183-year-long absence. In February 2019, four specimens were collected in southern France (Saint-Paul-de-Jarrat, Ariege), in the Pyrenees.
