Gymnoptera Lioy, 1864 Schmitz (1928, 1940) recorded both European species from Hungary but G. vitripennis (Meigen, 1830) (first record: Schmitz, 1928: 142) was not mentioned from Hungary in Schmitz'

s later works. Consequently, this species was not listed in the Palaearctic Catalogue (Disney 1991 ) as member of the Hungarian fauna. The other species was found again. Gymnoptera longicostalis Schmitz, 1933 - 3 females: BNP: [Mályinka] Látókő, 650 m, ernyősökről [on umbellifers], 1979. VII. 3-6, leg. Bajza-Papp. - There is no reason to question the validity of Schmitz'

s (1940: 128) record but those are the first specimens of this genus in the HNHM after 1956. Hypocera Lioy, 1864 Hypocera mordellaria (Fallén, 1823) - 1 male, 1 female: Csévharaszt, homokbuckás/nyíres, 2001.05.23; 1 male: Kelet-Mecsek TK: Óbánya: Óbányai-patak fölött, mellett, 2001. 05. 28. Other 41 males, 15 females from the ANP: Jósvafő (Lófej-f.), Hortobágyi NP: Balmazújváros (Darassa-puszta, Görbehát), Nagyhegyes (Vajdalaposi-erdő), Ohat, Püspökladány (Ágota-puszta, Farkas-sziget), Újszentmargita, KNP: Kunfehértó (Városerdő), Tabdi, Melegmány TT: Pécs (Nagy-mély-v.), Abaújlak (Szanticska), Budapest (Pestszentlőrinc), Csévharaszt, Dencsháza, Karakószörcsök, Pénzesgyőr, Bükk-hg. (Síkfőkút), Bakony-hg. (Királykapu); from May 5 to July 25. - This is a common and easily recognisable species, which was first reported by Schmitz (1928: 142), as Hypocera subsultans. Megaselia Rondani, 1856 This is a huge genus with species mostly difficult to identify (Disney 1989, 1991,1998). I was only able to name a couple of species. There are more than 8500 specimens of Megaselia spp. selected in the HNHM as such from Hungary. Megaselia brunneipennis Costa, 1857 - 1 female: Mátra TK: Parádsasvár, Nagy-Lipót-folyás, folyás fölött, mellett, 2000. július 20. - A conspicuous species, new for the Hungarian fauna. Megaselia picta (Lehmann, 1822) - 1 male: Börzsöny-hg., [Verőce] Magyarkút, 1989. VII. 28; 1 female: Bükki NP: Szarvaskő, 1984. VII. 30. - This species was first published by Schmitz (1924: 81), as Aphiochaeta. Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866) - 1 female (damaged), 1 pharate adult in pupal shell and 1 dry ripen L3 glued on the same card: [Budapest] 1991. 01. 07. - 02. 11, 1 hó feji., lábszár fekély [illegible], Dr Lohinay György, Bőrklinika. - This adult was reared from maggots found in a wound of an old hobo by Dr. Lohinay at the Clinics of Dermatology, Medical University of Budapest. New to Hungary. There are several other specimens of the M. picta I scalaris species group in the HNHM.
