| Description | Fanniidae and Muscidae are closely related families that chiefly are inhabitants of natural and semi-natural habitats and only a small part of them are adapted to cultural ecosystems. Nevertheless, several species belong even to the well known synanthropic forms that have a certain hygienic, medical and veterinary importance. Altogether 11 species of Fanniidae and 119 species of Muscidae were recently treated in the national checklist of flies and one additional publication (Pakalniškis et al., 2006; Lutovinovas, 2008). Further faunistic news are presented herewith. |
