Czech and SlovakDiptera associated with fungi

This work summarizes data on 242 species of Diptera belonging to 27 families reared by the author from 248 species of macrofungi and myxomycetes collected in the Czech and Slovak Republics in the years 1998 – 2010. Most species recorded belong to the family Mycetophilidae (99 species), followed by the families Phoridae (21 spp.), Cecidomyiidae (19 spp.), Drosophilidae (15 spp.), Bolitophilidae (10 spp.), Platypezidae (10 spp.), Muscidae (10 spp.), Sphaeroceridae (8 spp.) and Heleomyzidae (6 spp.). The other families were represented by 5 or less species. For each species a list of hitherto known fungus hosts in the Czech and Slovak Republic is given, including the previous literature records. A systematic list of host fungi with associated insect species is also provided. The first record of any host fungus is given for Mycetophila ostentanea Zaitzev, 1998, Mycetophila sordida van der Wulp, 1874 and Sceptonia flavipuncta Edwards, 1925 (all Mycetophilidae). Comments are also made on larval parasitoids reared from Mycetophilidae and Phoridae.
