Abstract
The sphaerocerid Crumomyia glacialis (Meigen, 1830) is recorded from the Iberian Peninsula for the first time. The specimens were captured in two Spanish National Parks (Sierra Nevada N. P. and Sierra de Guadarrama N. P.). Most of the specimens (6 out of 7) were captured in the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum by means of subterranean sampling devices (SSD), and only one with epigean pitfall traps. In addition to this first record, the implications of the presence of this species in the high mountain MSS are discussed.
