FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK LUI 1992 p. 135-138 Nine drosophilid species new to Hungary (Diptera: Drosophilidae) By L. Papp (Received March 31, 1992) Nine drosophilid species new to Hungary (Diptera: Drosophilidae). - Nine species of the family Drosophilidae are reported as new to the Hungarian fauna. Chymomyza procnemoides Wheeler, a Nearctic species (probably introduced) is new to the Palearctic. Together with these species the Hungarian drosophilid fauna comprises 66 species. Drosophilids belong to the best known dipterous groups as for the faunistics of Hungary (see in details in Papp and Pecsenye 1988). The occurrence of 57 drosophilid species were published and corroborated. The present author made a series of apple-bait collectings in four creek valleys of the Hungarian low mountains from 1988 to 1990 (Papp 1993) collecting nearly nine-thousand drosophilids; all these materials included also several species new for the Hungarian fauna. Some other collectings, particularly those made on freshly cut wood (poplar wood) resulted in obtaining some representatives of other species new to Hungary. The mountain valley collectings were made at the following localities: Aggtelek National Park, Aggtelek, Medvés-kert [nr. Ménes forrás and downstream], Bükk National Park, Miskolc, Garadna-völgy [valley], 2-300 m upstream Hámor lake, Börzsöny Mountains, Verőce, Magyarkút, Keskenybükki-patak völgye [creek valley], Visegrád Mountains, Visegrád, Apátkúti-völgy. These localities are given below in a coded form: by a letter and six numbers of time data, e.g. V14.07.89 is for the sample collected in the Apátkúti-völgy, 14 July 1989. Most of the specimens were collected by the author, so the collector's name is given in other cases only. AU the specimens are preserved in the collection of the Zoological Department, HNHM, Budapest (minutia-pinned, double mounted, also those specimens which were originally kept in alcohol).
