Minute to small (1.0-5.0 mm), often silvery-grey flies, often with
dark markings on head, thorax or abdomen. Arista bare to pubescent;
ocellar, postocellar, orbital, frontal and vibrissal setae present
or absent. Costa without breaks, subcosta complete, costal area
often dark, cell Cup closed. Tibiae without dorsal preapical seta.
The larvae are predators of Homoptera living on a wide range of
trees and herbs. Consequently, chamaemyiid adults occur in various
grassland habitats,
in
reeds, in mixed or deciduous forests, in lowlands, but also in
montane habitats. For further information, see
(McAlpine
1971,
McLean 1998,
Papp 1979,
Tanasijtshuk 1986).
Altogether 108 species are known to occur in Europe (Gaimari
2007 – where several newly described species are omitted.). 30 of
them are listed in the present checklist: 25 in the Czech Republic (12 in Bohemia, 24 in Moravia), and 24 in Slovakia. Since the
ECV1, the number of species has increased by five in Slovakia. The chamaemyiid fauna of Moravia
and Slovakia is rather
better studied than the poorly known fauna of both Bohemia.
The basic characteristics of the family were given by
(McAlpine
1971,
Papp 1979). The
Central European
species may be identified using the key and figures in (Beschovski
& Merz 1998,
Beschovski & Tanasijtshuk 1990,
Beschovski 1994,
Gaimari 2007,
Papp 1979,
Tanasijtshuk 1992), but corrections are necessary due to the
description of new species. The nomenclature in the present
checklist follows that of the Fauna Europaea (Gaimari 2007), with some changes and additions.
This paper was partly supported by IRP MSM 6046070901 (Ministry
of education, youth and sports).
