Abstract: ODINIIDAE This is a small family of species in the Palaearctic. The larvae of some species develop in burrows in trees (Alnus, Betula, Malus, Populus, Quercus and Salix) attacked usually by the larvae of beetles of the families Cerambycidae and Curculionidae (Scolytinae). Other species are associated with fungi. Only three species of this family are known from Italy.<br />Published as part of Ebejer, Martin J. & Nicolosi, Giuseppe, 2022, New records of acalyptrate Diptera from Sicily (Brachycera, Muscomorpha: Asteiidae, Aulacigastridae, Carnidae, Lonchaeidae, Odiniidae, Pallopteridae, Periscelididae, Piophilidae, Sciomyzidae, Ulidiidae), pp. 101-104 in Fragmenta entomologica 54 (1) on page 103, DOI: 10.13133/2284-4880/766, http://zenodo.org/record/8148054
