Abstract

Abstract Records of six species of the family Drosophilidae from the Czech Republic are presented. Drosophila tripunctata Loew, 1862, reported from the Old World long ago on the basis of a wrong determination, is newly confirmed from the region (Czech Republic: Bohemia); although this finding originates from a greenhouse, the record is important because this thermotolerant species has a potential to spread outdoors in Central Europe. Cacoxenus indagator Loew, 1858 is for the first time recorded from North Moravia (Czech Silesia) in the Czech Republic and Cacoxenus argyreator Frey, 1932 from Slovakia. Mycodrosophila poecilogastra (Loew, 1874) is new addition to the fauna of Bohemia, Drosophila (Sophophora) helvetica Burla, 1948 and Drosophila (Sophophora) suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) are new for Moravia.

Highlights

In the most recent electronic checklist of Drosophilidae of the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Máca 2009) a total of 75 species has been given from the Czech Republic (71 from Bohemia, 68 from Moravia) and 70 species from Slovakia
Altogether three additional species were recorded from the Czech Republic: Bohemia, viz. Caxoxenus (Paracacoxenus) argyreator Frey, 1932 and Scaptomyza (Scaptomyza) teinoptera Hackman, 1955 by Máca et al (2013) and Drosophila (Sophophora) suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) by Březíková et al (2014), so raising the number of species known from this country to 78
The fauna of Drosophilidae is comparatively well known in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
