Résumé
One species of Fanniidae, 15 of Muscidae and 5 of Anthomyiidae are recorded as associated with the burrows of the Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota LINNAEUS). Mydaea rufinervis (POKORNY) and Phaonia tenuiseta (POKORNY) (Muscidae) are considered to be obligate commensals, probably breeding in excrement. Fannia sp. (Fanniidae), Helina cinerella (WULP) and Myospila alpina HENDEL (Muscidae), and Botanophila bompadrei (BEZZI) and Eutrichota paratunicata (HENNIG) (Anthomyiidae), are considered to be facultative commensals, probably breeding in excrement and debris in the burrows.
