FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK Volume 64 2003 pp. 285-295. New Mycetophilidae (Diptera) and additions to the Hungarian checklist* J. SEVCÍK and L. PAPP Abstract: Seventeen species of Mycetophilidae are recorded as new for the Hungarian fauna, four species as new for Slovakia and one species is new for the Czech Republic. Neoempheria stubbsi Chandler et Ribeiro sp. n. (Slovenia, Hungary, Portugal), Leia hungarica sp. n. (Hungary), Leia martinovskyi sp. n. (Slovakia) and Allodiopsis gracai sp. n. (Hungary, Czech Republic) are described. Some corrections to the Checklist are given. With eleven figures. Key words: Mycetophilidae, taxonomy, faunistic survey, new species, new records, Hungary INTRODUCTION In 2001 the book "Checklist of the Diptera of Hungary'" was published, which established a new situation in furthering the faunistic survey of the dipterous fauna of Hungary. On one hand, that book serves as a reference for all the former publications; but on the other hand the "Checklist..." contains some errors, etc., so some corrections will be necessary, particularly in the next few years. The project "Large blank spots in the Diptera fauna of Hungary" was accomplished by the end of 2002, but our efforts are unaltered, i.e. to collect and to publish species formerly not recorded from Hungary, particularly for those, which represent dipterous families and genera formerly not reported from Hungary. Representatives of species collected during our collection programme and some results from the preparatory period of the project have already been published (see Papp 1999, 2000, Sevcrk & Papp 2001, 2002): Numerous genera and more than 140 species new to the Hungarian fauna in Mycetophilidae were reported in those papers (see e.g. Papp & Sevcik 2001). In 2002 more than 50,000 mycetophilid specimens were again captured, of which 2235 specimens in 48 genera were selected and pinned. * 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).
