Abstract;From 2001 to 2003, adults of Muscina angustifrons (Loew) were bred from 38 macrofungal species collected from a broad-leaved secondary forest, predominated with two oak species, Quercus serata and Q. variabilis, surrounding the campus of Kanazawa University, Kanazawa city, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. This fly species was reared most often from a macrofungal species belonging to the families of Russulaceae, Amanitaceae and Boletaceae that produce large fruit-bodies. The fly emerged from June to September with a peak in July, synchronizing its appearance period with that of the host macrofungi. (author abst.)
