Abstract

Faunistic data on 66 species of geophilous scuttle flies cought by emergence traps placed in 6 sites of the linden-oak-hornbeam forest in the Wigry National Park in summer season of 2017 and 2018 are presented. About 60% of the individuals captured each year were species with at least 10 individuals. The same four dominants: Megaselia pulicaria-complex, M. flava, M. abdita and Gymnophora arcuata reached the highest abundance in the compared communities during both study seasons. Species with known biology accounted for only half of the captured species, but among them the most numerous (82%) were species whose larvae were classified as sapro-/necro- and mycophagous.
