Cite

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.
