Abstract

Family Pallopteridae Loew, 1862 is a small Diptera family which is well known in the Palearctic Region. Species of this family have been reported especially in the many countries of Europe. However, there has been no study of the distribution of the family Pallopteridae in Turkey. This study was based on fly specimens collected from Amasya, Corum and Sinop Provinces of Turkey between 2017 and 2018. Four species [ Palloptera ustulata Fallen, 1820, Palloptera umbellatarum (Fabricius, 1775), Toxoneura basimaculata (Czerny, 1934) and Toxoneura trimacula (Meigen, 1826)] of Pallopteridae (Diptera) recorded for the first time in Turkey. A key for the Turkish Pallopteridae species, zoogeographic distribution, and figures of wing and adult of each species are included.
