ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK L 1989 p. 11M17 Scatopsidae, Lauxaniidae, Diastatidae and Hippoboscidae (Diptera) of the Kiskunság National Park, Hungary By L. PAPP and G. KAUFMAN (Received Jaawury 10, 1989) Abstract: Scatopsidae, Lauxaniidae, Diastatidae and Hippoboscidae (Diptera) of the Kiskunság National Park, Hungary - Locality and flight period data of 64 species of these four families are given with remarks on habitats and life-habits. Four species are new for the Hungarian fauna. Other ten species are also listed, which were collected near the national park. According to our observations hitherto, the Kiskunság National Park has the richest fauna in the Hungarian national parks; this is valid for flies, too. During our four year collecting programme invaluable dipterous material was collected, which is a considerable enrichment of the collections of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (below HNHM). Contrarily, the two volumes of "The Fauna of the Kiskunság National Park" do not reflect this fact, since the material of numerous dipterous families has not been published (nor identified). Below the material of four families (64 species, 1 672 specimens) is represented. As for the species of the family Scatopsidae, several excellent revisory works had been published, and consequently, the scatopsid part in the new Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera 'Krivosheina and Haenni 1986) reflects a comparatively good situation in their taxonomy. In the family Diastatidae the genus Diastata was revised most recently. The senior author is a specialist for the Palaearctic species of the family Lauxaniidae but he had not time for the elaboration of the present material previously. The junior author has recently identified all the hippoboscid material preserved in the collection of the 7oological Department, HNHM, including the specimens from the Kiskunság National Park. The form of the present paper follows the formal requirements of the two volumes of the Kiskunság fauna in every respect. In the case of species from territories of the Kiskunság other than the Kiskunság National Park, the whole information (incl. the scientific name) is given in square brackets. SCATOPSIDAE Small nematocerans with little known life-habits. There are some species (5-6 species) with known habits, which develop in dung and decaying (rotten) plant material. Coboldia fuscipes is usually reared from fungi (in mushroom-culture units as well as in the nature). Hitherto 26 species have been collected in our country, a half of them is listed below as members of the Kiskunság fauna. Two species (Aspistes berolinensis and Fernelella incompleta) are new for the Hungarian fauna. Aspistes berolinensis Meigen, 1818 - 2. Ágasegyháza; 3. Csévharaszt. 12. V-23. VII. - New for the fauna of Hungary. A European species, its life-habits are little known. Our specimens were caught on sandy areas and on the edge of a swamp (12 d, 1 o), 1 1 1
