Abstract
This study was conducted between 2016-2020 to investigate the Tachinidae (Diptera) fauna of Manisa Province of Türkiye. For this purpose, Tachinidae samples were collected from the cultural and natural areas of five districts (Salihli, Sarıgöl, Selendi, Soma and Şehzadeler) selected to represent the province. Thirty-six species were determined and identified. These were four genera and five species in the subfamily Exoristinae, five genera and eight species in the subfamily Tachininae, three genera and four species in the subfamily Dexiinae, nine genera and 19 species in the subfamily Phasiinae. Among these, Estheria cristata (Meigen, 1826), Cistogaster globosa (Fabricius, 1775) and Cylindromyia gemma (Richter, 1972) (Diptera: Tachinidae) were recorded for the first time in Türkiye. The distributions and hosts in Türkiye of the identified species are given. In addition, the definitions of the species determined as new records for Türkiye are also included. This study is the first detailed study on the family Tachinidae in Manisa Province.
