Checklist of the Diptera This is an international undertaking of 20 authors: a checklist of the dipterous species found through the end of 2000 in Hungary, with references to their first reliable records in the territory of modern Hungary. The "minimum requirements" for a "first record" are to have the name of the identifier and the place of deposition, and to have evidence that the site is a locality of present-day Hungary. The starting point for most parts is Thalhammer 's Fauna Regni Hungáriáé in 1900 and every family part has a short introduction. These parts contain data on the number of recorded species and on the number of species expected to occur in Hungary. Most of the voucher specimens are deposited in the Diptera collection of the Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (HNHM); in exceptional cases the name of the relevant institution is given. There are numerous species new to Hungary reported here for the first time, however, the dipterous fauna of Hungary is still poorly known with 5550 species in this book. According to our present knowledge no less than 10000 species may occur in the country. Edited by L.
