ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK XLV. 1 1984 p. 5-8 A new species of Siphona Meigen from Hungary (Diptera: Tachinidae) By S. ANDERSEN (Received 1 December, 1983) Abstract: Slphona hungarica sp.n. Is described and the genitalia are figured on the basis of material of both sexes from Hungary. Diagnostic characters are given which clearly separate the new species from the closely related S. ingerae Andersen. The new species is Incorporated in the key to European Slphona by ANDERSEN (1982). From Hungarian museums, viz. the Hungarian Natural History Museum (F. MIHÁLYI) and the Bakony Museum (S. TÓTH), a large material of Slphona was sent to me for determination. A total of 35 specimens, collected mainly in forests in northern Hungary, were found to belong to a new species closely related to S. Ingerae Andersen, 1982. Both these species have long claws in the male, which immediately separates them from other Palaearctic Slphona. The two species differ by external features but the most consistent differences are found in the genitalia. Slphona hungarica sp.n.
