Sphaeroceridae Sphaerocera monilis Haliday, 1836. - H: 1 5. Terricolous species in wet fo­rests, very rare in collections. It was reared from fungi and it was found in ver­tical karst pits and on deer manure mixed with forest litter (PAPP 1973, PAPP & PLACHTER 1976). Ischiolepta micropyga (Duda, 1938). - H: 1 â. Very rare, probably obligate terricolous species. First known specimen from Hungary. I. paracrenata (Duda, 1920). - B: 1 Ő, 2 ç; G: 3 Ő, 1 o. Second and third col­lecting locality in Hungary. Little known species: it was found alive in nest of coot, and it was reared from runway litter sample found in burrows of rat-vole in, Finland (HACKMAN 1967). I. pusilla (Fallén, 1820). - A: 1 <?. Known as a coprophagous species. Copromyza (Apterina) pedestris (Meigen, 1830). - A: Id, 11 <j>, B: 3 ô*, 5 o. It was known as a brachypterous, terricolous species, was reared from dead snails and found in wet forests and meadows, under cut sedge, in burrows of small mam­mals, etc.; but two fully-winged male specimens are in the present material, which show all the characteristics of the subgenus Fungobia Lioy. The specimens resemble very much C . (F . ) fimetaria (Meigen, 1830), only their genitalia are completely dif­ferent. Thus, I think, this species is only a specialized, in most cases brachypte­rous species of Fungobia Lioy. The discussion of this question will be given elsew­here. C. (Olinea) atra (Meigen, 1830) - B: 1 6, 1 o, G: 1 o. A common coprophagous species, also known from burrows of small mammals. C. (Crumomyia) glabrifrons (Meigen, 1830) - A: 1 ç. Widespread in Europe but not a common species. It is a psychrophilous and athmophilous species, the imagi­nes were found on wet meadows and in woods, and in the near-to-entrance region of caves. Copromyza (Copromyza) pseudostercoraria sp.n. Robust, black-bodied species with yellow legs. Head as long as high with dirty yellow to yellowish red hue over a big area below eyes and with a small reddish or greyish red diffuse area on front of irons. Orbi­talia moderately shining grey. Head chaetotaxy as in stercoraria Meig., postocular hairs in one row, no genal bristle. Arista with scattered short ciliae. Eyes small, longest diameter: genal width = 1,5. Thorax and abdomen black, mesopleura mainly shining black, only its narrow upper region and a stripe along its hind margin dust­ed. Mesonotum with 3 pairs of dc bristles. Scutellum with thin but comparatively long bristle-like hairs on margin and on upper surface. Legs mainly yellow, only apices of femora darkened: reddish brown to reddish grey. Femora swollen, first femur only 3,0-3,5 times longer than wide. Mid tibia with 2-3 short and not thick anterodorsal bristles. No anterodorsal on hind tibia. mt3 ventrally as long as second joint, hind tibia with a moderately long curved ventral spine and with a small apical lateral spine. Wings somewhat browned, venis dark brown, all veins with brownish
