Campichoeta punctum (Meißen, 1830) - I. Lakitelek: Töserdő; IV. Fülöpháza. - 2. Ágasegyháza; 5. Tabdi; 9. Kunfehértó. - Gyón, Kalocsa. 9. V.-5. X.It occurs in all parts of Hungary though not abundantly. Twenty-two specimens were collected in the Kiskunság. HIPPOBOSCIDAE The hippoboscids or louse-flies are ectoparasites of birds and mammals. Some of the species are of veterinary importance and this is why not only their taxonomy but also their life-habits, distribution etc. and their control have been intensively studied in numerous countries. Contrarily, in Hungary there was hardly any scientific activity for hippoboscids in the last decades. Prior to 1956 there was a small collection of hippoboscids from the Carpathian Basin, which was completely destroyed (burnt) in 1956. Notwithstanding that fatality, the data of that old collection are available, since all the specimens were identified and published by Á. Soós (1955). Recently all the newly collected material (615 ex.) has been identified by the junior author. Seven hippoboscid species were found in the collection from the area of the Kiskunság National Park and other two species are represented by specimens collected not far from the borders of the park (altogether more than 100 ex.). One species, Or

nithomya fringi

llina (Curtis, 1836) is new for the Hungarian fauna. f

Stenepteryx hirundinis (Linnaeus, 1758) - It was not collected during our present collecting programme nor represented by any other specimens from the Kiskunság N. P. in the new collection of the HNHM. Soós (1955) reported it from Kalocsa and Szerep. It is a reduced-winged species, which is ectoparasitic on swifts and swallows.] Ornithoica turdi (Olivier in Latreille, 1811) - 1. Ócsa. 22. VI., 12. VIII. - One male and one female was caught on Muscicapa striata and Lanius collurio (new host species). The only other known specimen from Hungary is from the Bükk Mts. In the old collection of the HNHM it was represented from Tihany, Munkács, Deliblat and "Moldova" (Soós 1955). Ornithomya avicularia (Linnaeus, 1758) - 1. Ócsa. VI-VIII. - Four specimens caught on Picus viridis, Acrocephalus scirpaceus, Luscinia megarhynchos and Fringilla coelebs. It is rather common in our country and known from several other bird species. There were numerous specimens of this species in the old collection of the HNHM but none from the territories of the present Kiskunság N. P. Ornithomya biloba (Dufour, 1827) - 1. Ócsa. 18. VIII. - One male was collected on Hirundo rustica. It is a damaging ectoparasite of swallows (i.e. common and abundant). Soós (1955) mentioned it also from Kecskemét. Ornithomya fringillina (Curtis, 1836) - 1. ocsa. 16. VII.-11. X. - New for the fauna of Hungary (cf. Soós, 1955). One male and six females were collected by the workers of a ringing camp from Regulus ignicapillus, Luscinia megarhynchos, Acrocephalus melanopogon, Acrocephalus scirpaceus, Lanius collurio and Passer montanus. All the five bird species are new host species for this parasite fly. Hippobosca equina Linnaeus, 1758 - VI. Bugac: Bugaci nagyerdő, Nagybugac. 1. Ócsa; 3. Csévharaszt. V. -VII. - Eleven specimens caught (only one from a horse), mostly caught by sweep netting but it has been collected also on humans. A common species in Hungary. In the old collection it was represented also from Kalocsa. [

Hippobosca longipennis Fabricius, 1805 - There is no specimen from the Kiskunság N. P. in the new collection but Soós (1955) reported it from Bugac (15. VII. 1924, leg. Szilády, 3 ex.), from Kecskemét (several specimens, leg. Madarassy) and from Peszér (now Kunpeszér, leg. Uhl, 1 ex. ). ] Lipoptena cervi (Linnaeus, 1758) - VI. Bugac. - 1. Ócsa. ?-X-XI. - Only six specimens were caught, one of them on man, another one was found in a house. Soós (1955) mentioned it also from Peszér (now Kunpeszér). It is a very common parasite of our red deers but it attacks also humans (mainly in shiny winter days). Melophagus ovinus 'Linnaeus, 1758) - 2. Ágasegyháza. 22. VIII. - Numerous specimens (6 d, 27 <j>) were collected at "Pór-tanya" from a lamb by A. Szappanos. It was reported also from the Hortobágy and it is known from some other localities in our country but its actual prevalence has not been studied.
