The Stratiomyidae are a basal brachyceran family
belonging to the Orthorrhapha and Tabanomorpha. European members of
this family are diverse, ranging from 2.0 to 20.0 mm in length.
Their colour is often striking, dark with a yellow, white or
greenish pattern, with metallic reflections known in some species.
Some species are quite slender, whilst others are stout or
conspicuously flattened. Compound eyes large, contiguous in males
(with some exceptions) and separated by a band-shaped frons in
females. Antenna consisting of two basal segments and an annulated
flagellum, the last two flagellomeres sometimes forming an apical or
subapical style or arista. Three or four veins arising from discal
cell on wing. The integument of the larvae is rough and strongly
sclerotised, having a honeycomb or mosaic appearance. Two
morphological types of larvae reflect the two main larval habitats,
terrestrial and aquatic. All larvae are saprophages, living as
micropantophagous scavengers. Adults, as typical nectar feeders, are
found on a wide range of flowering plants, especially umbels
alongside water margins but also in open sunny places.
In Europe the family includes 138 species in 27
genera (Rozkošný
2007), with an additional new species described recently (Stuke
2004). 69 species are included in the present checklist: 66 from
the Czech Republic (56 from Bohemia and 62 from Moravia) and 66 from
Slovakia.
Since the PCV2 (Rozkošný
1997a), the number of species in the Czech Republic has
increased by 3 (3 in Bohemia and 2 in Moravia) and in Slovakia by 4. A review of earlier faunistic
data from the Czech Republic has
been given by Rozkošný (1998)
and Rozkošný and Barták (2000).
The species richness of the stratiomyid fauna is relatively
well-known in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The monograph of the European species by Rozkošný
(1982-1983)
summarises all known data on adult and larval morphology, biology,
distribution, systematics, and economic and hygienic importance,
including keys to the species. A key to the Palaearctic genera (both
larvae and adults) was compiled by Rozkošný (1997b),
the same author also published a monograph of the aquatic species of
Central Europe (Rozkošný
2000). A set of interesting recent records extending knowledge
of species distribution in the countries of Europe was published by
Mason and Rozkošný (2003).
The nomenclature and classification used here follow the world
catalogue by Woodley (2001).

Education of the Czech Republic and the Masaryk University (grant No.
