Amiota (Phortica) goetzi sp.n. (Diptera, Drosophilidae) with faunistic notes to Drosophilidae, Odiniidae and Periscelididae from southeastern Europe and Turkey

Abstract: Amiota (Ptiortica) goetzi sp. n. is described from Turkey and altogether 21 new records of Drosophilidae species are given from individual countries (Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, European USSR, Turkey); some localities in Yugoslavia were also investigated. The new records from some countries encompass the species mentioned from there (without concrete locality) as „unpublished“ by Bächli and Rocha Pite (1982). Periscelididae and Odiniidae (one species each) are recorded for the first time from Bulgaria. The localities investigated by author are characterized briefly as for the main components of their vegetation. The highland localities (especially in Roumania) were found to harbour some stenoecious forest species of Drosophilidae; the coastal localities (including those little affected by man) showed high proportion of synanthropic species of this family. Convenience of the collecting methods used and of the collecting season are critically appreciated. Stigmatomyces scaptomyzae Thaxter, a parasite fungus of Scaptomyza pallida Zett., is given from Roumania. A case of aberrant sex ratio of Drosophila simulans Sturt. and D. subobscura Collin is recorded.
