L imosina claviventris Stróbl, 1909 - J: 1 ô, 2 o, Scotophilous, hygrophilous, terricolous species. Common also in intermediate parts of caves and in vertical karst pits. It was found and reared from small mammalian burrows. This species gives a fine example for the connection between the terricolous and the micro- and macrocavernicolous habits of the species of the family Sphaeroceridae. L. collini (Richards, 1929) - A: Id. Little known species. The larvae develop in cattle droppings only. L. crassimana Haliday, 1836 - A: 2 9. Rather ubiquitous species. It was found in woods, on meadows, on dung heaps, in ca^es, on carrion. The larvae live in decaying plant materials and in manure, too. L. flavipes (Meigen, 1830) - A: 1 ç. Scotophilous species with various life-habits (for details see PAPP, 1973). L. fucata (Rondani, 1880) - H: 2 ö. Little known species; we have no reliable record on the life-habit of the larvae. L. glabrescens (Villeneuve, 1917) - H: 1 9. Extremely rare species. It is the second known specimen from Hungary. L. heteroneura Haliday, 1836 - B: 1 ő, 2 0, C: 1 9, F: 3 Ö, G: 4 <5, 3Q, HNP7: 1 o, HNP5: 1 ő. Rather common species; it develops in dung heaps and in various decaying plant materials; it was found also in small mammalian runs. L. luteilabris Rondani, 1880 - A: 1 Ö. Scotophilous, coprophagous species. It is one of the few sphaerocerids, which develops also in human excrement. L. moesta Villeneuve, 1918 - A: 3 ő, 4 $, B: 5 Ő, 3 9, C: lő, G: 2 ő, 4 o, H: 1 ő, 6 9, I: 1 ç, HNP13: 1 ő. It is a characteristic terricolous species, living also in compost and other decaying plant material, all these records indicate the micromycophagous habit of the larvae. L. ochripes (Meigen, 1830) - B: 2 9. A common coprophagous species. L. palmata (Richards, 1927) - A: 1 Ö, 2 9, G: 2 ő, H: 2 Ô, 3 9, J: 1 Ő. First of all terricolous. It has various life-habits, living in dung, in carrion and in small mammalian burrows. L. parapusio Dahl, 1909 - 169 9. A: 34 9, B: 4 9, F: 1 9, H: 9 9, I: 37 9, J: 80 9, HNP6: 1 9, HNP8: 3 9. It is a very interesting mycophagous species reproducing through parthenogenesis; no male was found in these materials (cf. PAPP 1972). L. pullula Zetterstedt, 1847 - 12 Ő, 200 9. A: 1 Ó, 34 9 (one of them possibly L. meijerei Duda), B: 44 9, C: 1 9, D: 7 9, E: 6 9, G: 11 ő, 108 9. It seems the commonest terricolous species in Hungary. It is very probable that the specimens of this species never fly, and there are various brachypterous forms in the present material, which were unknown before. Recently ROHÁCEK (1975) published a paper , on the Czechoslovakia!! species of the L. heteroneura-group, including this and the
