A single male specimen of Megaselia intergeriva Schmitz, 1948 emerged from sections of spruce trunks which had been collected from a windthrow area in the Sernftal, Canton Glarus, Switzerland and subsequently placed in an emergence trap. This is the first record of the species world-wide with exception of the type material collected by Schmitz in Austria 50 years ago. It is possible that the distribution of M. intergeriva is retricted to the Alps.
