The species composition of black flies (Simuliidae, Diptera) in a lowland stream of Aller‐Leineregion (northern Germany, FRG) is analysed in the course of several years. Normally, Odagmia ornata (M G .) is the dominating species. For a short sharply defined period Boophthora erythrocephala DE G EER appeared in a great number. Possible reasons and related research on spatial stability of oviposition sites are presented.
