316 L. PArr Asteiidae The fragile, minute asteiids are seldom collected. Until now there has been no reliab e information regarding their larval habits but the adults of the Leiomyza species have been known to be found on fungi (ZETTERSTEDT 1848, DUDA 1927, 1935, SABROSKY 1956, 1957). In the rearing experiments, 292 fly specimens belonging to the genus Leiomyza MACQ., emerged from 42 fungi samples : also 20 Leiomyza laevigata MEIG., and 270 Leiomyza dudai SABR. (and 2 damaged, unidentifyable ones). One can safely say therefore that Leiomyza species breed in fungi, and there are data of several asteiid species of other genera occurring on rotting substances, on forest litter, and on soil, too. Thus it is possible that the larvae of these latter ones are feed on the mycelia of the above-mentioned sites. Leiomyza laevigata MEIG.: V-XI1.

I express my sincere thanks to Mrs. DELY — DRASKOVITS for making the interesting fly-material available for study. Summary The paper discusses some data on sphaerocerid and asteiid flies reared from fungi samples, including a first report on the breeding substrate of Puncticorpus cribratum VILL. There are also first records of the occurrence of this species in Hungary. Two species of the asteiid genus Leiomyza MACQ. have been reared (L. laevigata MEIG., L. dudai SABR.). Data on the larval habits of the Asteiidae are important results of the investigations. References: BLOCK, K. (1969) : Chromosomal variation in AgromyzidaeII.
