In Europe 4 species of Cephenemyia are reported, C. trompe (Modeer 1786) in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L), C. stimulator (Clark 1815) in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L), C. auribarbis (Meigen 1824) in red deer (Cervus elaphus L) and fallow deer (Dama dama L), and C. ulrichii, Brauer 1862, in moose (Alces alces L) (Zumpt 1965, Grunin 1966). Of these, C. trompe is known from northern Scandinavia (Zumpt 1965, Grunin 1966), C. stimulator is reported from Denmark (Christiansen 1935), and C. ulrichii from Finland (Frey 1914, Brander 1963, Mikkola et al 1982).
