Acknowledgements – On the basis of grants (2 weeks for MIHÁLY FÖLDVÁRI, 4 weeks for LÁSZLÓ PAPP) received from the National Science Council, Taipei, with the administrative support from the Representative Office of NSC in Bonn and from the Office for International Co-operation of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, we had a scientific visit to Taiwan in 2003. Diptera collectings during that visit were particularly successful. We both were hosted by Professor Dr. JUNG-TAI CHAO at the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, Taipei, whom we would like to express our most sincere thanks. We are grateful to Mrs. MEI-LING CHAN (Division of Zoology, National Museum of Natural Science, Taichung) for all her kind help and hospitality while working in the NMNS (L. PAPP 2000, M. FÖLDVÁRI and L. PAPP 2003). We are grateful to Dr Steven D. GAIMARI (Sacramento) for his contribution to our collection of Chamaemyiidae . The studies on the Oriental Diptera are sponsored by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA grant No. T 042540).
