Two new species of Silba Macquart, 1851 namely Silba mitsuii sp. nov. and Silba fungicola sp. nov. are described from Japan. The adults of the first species were obtained from larvae found in the flower buds of Camellia japonica L. and of the second from fungal fruiting bodies. This is the first time these types of larval habitat have been recorded for a Silba species.
描述了采自日本的麦氏蜂虻属(Silba Macquart,1851)的两个新物种,即三井麦氏蜂虻(Silba mitsuii sp. nov.)和栖真菌麦氏蜂虻(Silba fungicola sp. nov.)。第一种的成虫采自日本山茶(Camellia japonica L.)花芽中的幼虫,第二种的成虫采自真菌子实体。这是首次记录到麦氏蜂虻属物种有此类幼虫栖息地。
