Menozziola Schmitz, 1927 Menozziola schmitzi (Menozzi, 1921) - Since Schmitz's (1928: 141, Apocephalus (Menozziola) record (as "U") was probably based on a specimen collected outside of the present borders of Hungary, its first Hungarian record is rather recent (Papp 2001: 284). Metopina Macquart, 1835 They are minute flies difficult to identify. Actually, only Disney's works (Disney 1979,1983) made it possible to identify species reliably. Consequently, it is better to leave all the old records out of consideration. Schmitz (1924, 1941a, 1953) reported three species from Hungary, I found a fourth one in the collection of the HNHM. All the other species occurring in Europe, may occur in Hungary, namely, Metopina crassinervis Schmitz, 1920, M. formicomendicola Schmitz, 1927, M. heselhausi Schmitz, 1914, M. oligoneura (Mik, 1867), M. troc hante ralis Schmitz, 1953 and M. ulrichi Disney, 1979. Metopina braueri (Stróbl, 1880) - 1 male (in a microvial with glycerine): Budapest, Pestszentlőrinc, Péterhalmi-erdő, tölgyes, 2001. 10. 07; 2 females: Mátra TK: Galyatető, fenyves, 2000. 07. 20; 2 females: Verőce, Magyarkút, Keskenybükki-patak fölött és mellett/v., komposzt erdei út mellett, 1999. 07. 25 ./aug.21. -First Schmitz (1953:206) reported it from Hungary (Kőszeg) but our country was not listed in the Palaearctic Catalogue (Disney 1991) for this species. Metopina galeata (Haliday, 1833) - Schmitz's (1924: 83) record is questionable (not repeated in 1940^4-1, in 1953 he wrote: "bedarf der Nachprüfung"). Hungary was not listed in the Palaearctic Catalogue (Disney 1991) for this species. Metopina perpusilla (Six, 1878) - Schmitz (1941a: 35) reported it as "U" but Hungary was not listed in the Palaearctic Catalogue (Disney 1991) for this species and all the specimens of Metopina spp. in the HNHM perished in 1956. Metopina pileata Schmitz, 1936 - 1202 males and females from Hungary, mostly from Kunszentmiklós, Birkajárás, Janovics hodályok, tálcsapdák, 1992. IX. 23, leg. Papp L., Ádám L., but several specimens also from Vértesboglár, Nagy-legelő, juhlegelő, 1992. V. 13. and from Zámoly, Forráspuszta, juhlegelő, 1992. IX. 16. - It is a species new for the Hungarian fauna. Phalacrotophora Schmitz, 1934 This is an interesting genus, whose species are parasitoids of coccinellid beetle pupae (Disney 1998, Disney & Beuk 1997). There is a rather rich collection of Phalacrotophora in the HNHM with 87 specimens (some of them left unidentified). Formerly two (or three, see below) species were found in Hungary, now four species were identified, including the males of Ph. beuki Disney. The wholly asymmetrical male genitalia make difficult to identify even males. I think lateral or
