Hrunamannahreppur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈr̥ʏːnaˌmanːaˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥] ⓘ, lit. 'Hruni Hreppur'[a]) is a municipality located in Iceland. Its major settlement is Flúðir.
The district abuts the Highlands, so that farmers' livestock occasionally strays there.[1]
Hrunamannahreppur and other parts of southwest Iceland were among the first where biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) were detected after their first appearance in Iceland in 2015.[2]
