Records of Muscidae (Diptera) collected in Poland fifty years ago

Eberhard Zielke

The study of the Muscidae of the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, Sofia, Bulgaria revealed 1.279 Muscidae collected in the 1960s in different regions of Poland. The material was examined between 2014 and 2019 and 99 species belonging to 25 genera and five subfamilies of the family Muscidae were identified and the sites of collecting were documented. Although the muscid fauna of Poland is well studied, two species, Myospila alpina Hendel, 1901 and Spilogona tatrica Gregor & Rozkosny, 2007 are reported for the first time from the country. Both species originate from the mountains in Southern Poland, close to neighbouring Slovakia. The number of Muscidae known from the country is raised herewith to 293.
