Abstract

The paper lists 44 syrphid species (Diptera, Syrphidae) collected by R. Bańkowska during her expedition to western Georgia in the fall of 1963, with remarks on taxonomy and distribution. Two species, Riponnensia morini Vujić, 1999 and Eumerus consimilis Šimić et Vujić, 1996 are reported from the Republic of Georgia for the first time. Two species endemic to the eastern shores of the Black Sea were found among the examined material: Merodon caucasicus Portschinsky, 1877 and Neoascia subannexa Claussen et Hayat, 1997. Notes on seasonal dynamic, sex and trophic structures of the autumn Georgian Syrphidae are provided.
