Abstract

Despite the large number of faunistical research conducted on the aquatic macroinvertebrates in the catchment area of Lake Balaton, no data are available on blackfly fauna. Our study presents the first published data on simuliid species of watercourses of the region. Samplings were carried out seasonally in 2006 from spring to autumn at 58 localities. Altogether twelve blackfly taxa were found, among them Simulium ornatum was the most frequent species. Simulium trifasciatum Curtis, 1839 proved to be new to the Hungarian fauna. The larvae of this species were often found together with S. erythrocephalum, S. angustitarse, S. lundstromi, S. costatum, the members of the S. aureum species-group and S. ornatum.
