Drosophilidae and Diastatidae from Mongolia (Diptera)* By T. OKADA, Tokyo Abstract — Faunistic and taxonomic data of Diastatids and Drosophilids (Diptera) from Dr. Z. KASZAB'S material collected in Mongolia (1966-1968); of the 15 species 5 are new to Mongolia and 4 to science (Paracacoxenus 1, Scaptomyza 1, Drosophila 2). Based upon Dr. Z. KASZAB'S collection in 1963-1965, HACKMAN (1968) recorded sev­en species of the family Drosophilidae from Mongolia : Scaptomyza pallida (ZETTERSTEDT) S. unipunctum (ZETTERSTEDT), S. flaveola (MEIGEN), Drosophila (Lordiphosa) sp., D. alpina BURLA, D. melanogaster MEIGEN, and D. funebris (FABRICIUS). The present report treats Dr. KASZAB'S further collections in Mongolia, deriving from 1966-1968 (KASZAB 1966, 1968). The collections involve one hundred and seven examples belonging tó one species of Diastatidae and fourteen species of Drosophilidae. Of seven species recorded by IIACKMAN, five were found also in the present collections : Scaptomyza pallida, S. unipunctum. S. flaveola, Drosophila melanogaster, and D. funebris. I am much obliged to Dr. L. PAPP for his taking the trouble of a preliminary classi­fication of the material and sending me for further study. My cordial thanks are also due to Dr. A. Buzz AU-TRAVERS o, who has kindly given me many specimens of Drosophila kuntzei DUDA from Switzerland, through the courtesy of the late Dr. T. KOMAI.
