Strongylophthalmyiidae

A significant material of the Strongylophthalmyia specimens from Taiwan has been accumulated in the HNHM. A number of specimens from SAUTER’ s collection were identified but not published by K. KERTÉSZ and I also identified some old material formerly. As for the new collections, I captured 4 specimens in 2000, we captured 8 specimens in 2003. Our colleagues collected another specimen from Taiwan, and I found 2 specimens of Strongylophthalmyia in the unsorted materials of the NMNS. The Oriental Strongylophthalmyiidae are comparatively well studied. HENNIG (1940), FREY (1955), STEYSKAL (1971) and SHATALKIN (1996) published significant papers. Six species of Strongylophthalmyia were published from Taiwan ( LIN & CHEN 1999). Representatives of four of them were captured during our recent collection trips, a fifth one was present among SAUTER’ s specimens. Probably a high number of undescribed species still exist in the Oriental region and in Australia. As for the latter, at least three species are represented in the collection of the HNHM (leg. M. FÖLDVÁRI in 2002).
