DISCUSSION Although the Tephritidae had been well studied at the time of Mihályi (1960), who mentioned 102 species from Hungary, another 19 species are added here to the list of Hungarian Tephritidae. Seven species must be deleted from the list due to misidentifications or synonymy with other species on the list and one species was listed without precise Hungarian locality. Therefore, 113 species are currently recorded from Hungary. Compared with other European countries, Hungary is well studied (Switzerland: 118 species (Merz 1998); Austria: 108 species (Franz 1989); Czech Republic: 102 species (Kinkorova 1997), Slovak Republic: 102 species (Kozánek 1998), Germany: 110 species (Merz 1999)). Nevertheless, some further species may be expected to occur in this country, e.g.: Stemonocera cornuta, S. spinifrons, S. spinulosa; Merzoymia westermanni; Campiglossa difficilis, C. punctella; Tephritis carmen, T. dudichi, T. heliophila, T. matricariae, T. truncata; Trypeta Immaculata (and some other species). Most of these species have already been found in the surrounding countries, and their host plants (as far as they are known) occur also in Hungary. Most of these species, however, are rarely found in collections and need to be searched for selectively on their hosts or reared from them.

Further, I want to thank Agnes Dely-Draskovits for her help during my stay at Budapest in 1991 and László Ádám, who showed me the excellent collecting site near Budaörs. For loan of type material I want to thank J. P. O'Connor (Dublin), R. Contreras-Lichtenberg (Vienna) and the late L. Matile (Paris). I thank further M. Eggenberger for carefully checking the first version of the manuscript. REFERENCES Aczél, M. (1940): Neue Beiträge zur Systematik und Ökologie der paläarktischen Trypetiden.
