Syntormon filiger

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Syntormon filiger faces significant pressure from agricultural intensification and urban development across its limited range in northern Europe. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to drainage of wetlands and conversion of riparian areas for farming. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moisture levels critical for this fly's breeding success.
