Abstract:

24 named species of scuttle fly were reared from rotholes in the trees Fraxinus excelsior, Populus nigra, Salix alba. 15 species are additions to the list for France, including the new species M. deltofemoralis Disney, M. lavoursensis Disney and M. putescavi Disney, which are described along with the hitherto unknown females of M. hartfordensis Disney and M. subcarpalis (Lundbeck). Three species are represented by females and can only be named when linked to their males.
