title: [Introduction to the study of Sciomyzidae (Diptera Acalyptera) in Italy].
abstract: A list is given of Sciomyzidae recorded from Italy (Tab. 1). It results from literature and from our collections (species with one asterisk in tab. 1) that there 70 species in Italy. On the other hand some of these (three asterisks in tab 1) are records of old Authors. Some dubious records (in the opinion of Verbeke and Knutson, 1967) are signed with two asterisks in tab 1. Pherbellia annulipes (fig. 1) and Limnia paludicola (fig. 2) seem new records for Italian fauna. The species listed in Tab. 1 have the next types of geographical distribution: central-south-European (30%), European (17,14%), central north-European (15,7%), oloartic (14,2%), west-mediterraneous (8,5%), Eurasiatic (5,7%), borealpine (2,8%). Observations are also reported on preferential habitat of Sciomyzidae collected in some "natural damp places" (see figg. 3-4).
