Abstract

A total of 327 species of Agromyzidae has been recorded from the Gemer area and for 245 of these species new data are given. Altogether 89 species are ascertained to occur in the Gemer area for the first time. Of this number, 35 species are new additions to the fauna of Slovakia, viz. Agromyza filipendulae Spencer, 1976, A. myosotidis Kaltenbach, 1864, Amauromyza (Amauromyza) rameli Černý, 2011, Am. (Cephalomyza) flavifrons (Meigen, 1830), Aulagromyza populicola (Haliday in Walker, 1853), Cerodontha (Butomomyza) rohdendorfi Nowakowski, 1967, C. (Cerodontha) coxalis Martinez, 1987, C. (C.) xanthocera Hendel, 1920, C. (Dizygomyza) eriophori Nowakowski, 1972, C. (Poemyza) beigerae Nowakowski, 1973, C. (P.) kerteszi (Hendel, 1931), Chromatomyia dorsata (Hendel, 1920), Liriomyza bryoniae (Kaltenbach, 1858), L. coronillae Pakalniškis, 1994, L. dracunculi Hering, 1932, Melanagromyza lappae (Loew, 1850), M. limata Spencer, 1971, M. verbasci Spencer, 1957, Napomyza inquilina (Kock, 1966), Ophiomyia crispa Guglya, 2013, O. gnaphalii Hering, 1949, O. submaura Hering, 1926, Phytobia cerasiferae (Kangas, 1955), Phb. errans (Meigen, 1830), Phb. mallochi (Hendel, 1924), Phytoliriomyza perpusilla (Meigen, 1830), Phl. variegata (Meigen, 1830), Phytomyza aconiti Hendel, 1920, Ph. anemones Hering, 1925, Ph. astrantiae Hendel, 1924, Ph. bipunctata Loew, 1858, Ph. kugleri Spencer, 1974, Ph. leucanthemi Hering, 1935, Pseudonapomyza balkanensis Spencer, 1973 and Ps. vota Spencer, 1973. The biogeographically most important are records of Amauromyza (Am.) rameli, Cerodontha (C.) xanthocera, C. (P.) kerteszi, Chromatomyia dorsata, Phytomyza kugleri and Pseudonapomyza vota being from their northernmost occurrence limits and usually the first record from Central Europe. Cerodontha (Dizygomyza) eriophori (first record outside Poland) has been found in a new southernmost locality, similarly as was also Chromatomyia rhaetica Griffiths, 1980. The biodiversity of species of the family Agromyzidae in particular large-sized protected areas of the Gemer region is discussed. Thanks to recent intensive research, the highest number of species was found in the Muránska planina National Park (250) and in the Cerová vrchovina PLA (198), which is significantly more than in the other protected areas of similar extent in Slovakia that have been studied in detail for Diptera up to the present. A new checklist of Agromyzidae for the fauna of Slovakia is presented, which now includes 414 species.
