Abstract: Flies were collected on the bodies of cattle and sheep and on pasture dung cattle, sheep, horse and red deer in Hungary; imagoes were reared from cattle and sheep dung samples. The results are summarized in three tables. It was found that regular sprayings on cattle did not change the basic ratios in the dominant dipterous populations (Haematobia spp. to Musca autumnalis) in two cattle farms in C Hungary. Two species of the ceratopogonid genus Culicoides (transmitters of viral diseases), a species of the genus Limonia, the drosophilid species Scaptomyza pallida and several other interesting species were reared from September cow pat samples in Hungary for the first time. A comparison of the species composition of the dipterous assemblages on sheep dung with those on dung of other hoofers does not indicate any significant difference, e. g. any species on red deer dung may occur on sheep dung in Hungary.Journal: Folia entomologica hungaricaJournal abbreviation: Folia ent. hung.ISSN: 0373-9465Publisher: , Editor(s): Mahunka, S.
