Tóth Sándor: Adatok a Látrányi Puszta Természetvédelmi Terület kétszárnyú (Diptera) faunájához - Data to the fly fauna of the Látrányi Puszta Nature Conservation Area (Diptera)

г 278 NATURA SOMOGYIENSIS Data to the fly fauna of the Látrányi Puszta Nature Conservation Area (Diptera) SÁNDOR TÓTH During the basic research conducted in the protected area between 2000 and 2002, 298 taxon were reported belonging to 23 Diptera families. Most of the two-winged species of the examined area are common and regular species occurring in most of Hungary. However, few of the taxon are relatively rare and some are typical to the sandy steppes to some extent. This can be the explanation why the two-winged fauna of the area shows similarities to the fauna of the Barcsi Juniper Woodland in the Transdanubia, the juniper and pine woodland near Fenyőfő, and to some of the sandy grasslands of the Great Plain (for example the Kiskunság). This similarity is suggested by the presence of the following species: Merodon clavipes, Callicera aenea, Pelecocera tricincta and Spilomyia diophthalma among the hover-flies (Syrphidae), Micomitra stupida, Systoechus gradatus and Villa humilis among bee-flies (Bombyliidae), Cliorismia ardea among the stiletto flies (Therevidae), or Taxigramma heteroneurum and Paragusina elegantula among flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) and Nephrotoma scurra crane-flies (Tipulidae). Among the two-winged species developing in wet habitatats, Ptychoptera albimana false crane-flies (Ptychopteridae), a Chaoborus flavicans phantom gnats (Chaoboridae), and Spathiophora hydromyzina yellow dung flies (Scathophagidae) are worth mentioning due to their rare occurrance.
