Pediciidae, Bolitophilidae, Keroplatidae, Mycetophilidae and Dixidae: genera and species new to Hungary (Diptera)* L. Papp Pediciidae, Bolitophilidae, Keroplatidae, Mycetophilidae and Dixidae: genera and species new to Hungary (Diptera) — One species each of Pediciidae and Bolitophilidae, two Dixella spp., four genera and 13 species of Keroplatidae and 19 genera and 33 species of Mycetophilidae are recorded as new for the Hungarian fauna. Key words: Pediciidae, Bolitophilidae, Keroplatidae, Mycetophilidae, Dixidae, faunistic survey, new records, Hungary. INTRODUCTION In the frame of the project "Large blank spots in the Diptera fauna of Hungary" we would like to collect and to publish species representing dipterous families formerly not recorded from Hungary. Furthermore, species representing not recorded genera are also targets of our activity. Four years of the project (OTKA T30242, 1999-2002) comprise a reasonable period of time, for which a fair support is provided for true faunistical studies. The results will hopefully be included also in the "Checklist of the Diptera of Hungary". New findings from the preparatory period have already been published (see Papp 1998, 1999). In 1999, the first year of the project, these collectings resulted in capturing specimens of numerous genera and species new for the fauna of Hungary; a part of them is reported in this paper. All the specimens below are preserved in the Diptera collection of the Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (below: HNHM). The specimens were mostly collected by László Papp, so this name is not given below, only if I collected them together with Zsuzsanna Bajza, Albert Szappanos or somebody else. The year 1999 is also mostly omitted. The months are given as on the collection labels, i.e., May: május, 05., June: június, 06., July: július, 07., October: okt, 10., etc.; since labels are written in Hungarian, months come first. The following Hungarian words are on numerous labels: "patak fölött": over the brook, "patak fölött és mellett": over and along/beside the brook. * This paper was written for the project of "Large blank spots in the Diptera fauna of Hungary", supported by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA, No. T 30242).
