Contribution to the Knowledge of the Bombyliidae of Turkey
(Diptera)
J. DILS & H. ÖZBEK
A bstract: This paper presents 187 species in 46 genera based on material
collected and observations made on Bombyliidae in Turkey from 1996 to 2004,
faunistic and detailed distributional data are presented. Of which, 60 species and 7
genera (Cononedys, Ligyra, Mariobezzia, Oestranthrax, Plesiocera, Pterobates, and
Veribubo) are new for the Turkish fauna. Additionally, new distribution areas are added
to all of the species. Total species have been recorded occurring in Turkey compile 254
species in 47 genera. Where possible, the genitalia of the species where checked to
confirm the determination of the specimens.

Introduction
The Bombyliidae also known, as "Bee flies", are a large family of Diptera, with almost
4500 valid species described worldwide. They occur on all continents except Antarctica;
however, their highest diversities occur in semi-arid and arid environments (HULL 1973).
They are very diverse and remarkable insects in size, appearance and colour, many of
them resembling wasps, bees and even mosquitoes. Many have the proboscis very long
and slender. The adults are found on flowers, resting on the ground or hovering in open
sunny places. Nearly all of them are nectar and pollen feeders and therefore a factor in
the fertilisation chain of wild plants and annual flowers in arid and semiarid areas
(HEARD et al. 1990). The immature stages of most Bombyliidae are unknown, they are
being considered mainly as parasitic or predacious on immatures of other insects (e.g.
Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, and Hymenoptera). Therefore, the
Bombyliidae could, in the future result in being economically important as biological
pest control agents.
Some important studies have previously been conducted back in 1920s and 1930s by
PARAMONOV (1925, 1926a, 1926b, 1928, 1929, 1931), ENGEL (1932-1937) and AUSTEN
(1937) on taxonomy of various genera of Bombyliidae. Later, ZAITZEV (1960, 1961,
1966, 1969.1971, 1973, 1974a, 1974b, 1975, 1976a, 1976b, 1976c, 1976d, 1977, 1978,
1980, 1981, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999) had significant publications on Bombyliidae in
various countries describing many new species. BECKER (1916) described several species
from Turkey. FRANÇOIS (1966, 1967) made two valuable contributions on this group of
insects. BOWDEN (1967a, 1967b) described new species of the genera Conophorus
MEIGEN and Heterotropus LOEW from Turkey. Recently, EVENHUIS & GREATHEAD

(1999) have prepared a "World Catalog of Bee Flies". We should note that above men-
tioned scientists had described many species from Turkey.
In Turkey, Bombyliidae have received much less attention from native scientists than
many other insect groups. However, HASBENLI & AKTAŞ (1995) studied the species of
the genus Conophorus MEIGEN occurring in Turkey. HASBENLI (1997) and HASBENLI et
al., (1998) contributed to the genus Hemipenthes Loew and described a new species of
Conophorus from Turkey. More recently, HASBENLI & EVENHUIS (2000) have prepared a
"Checklist of the Bombyliidae of Turkey" with some new records.
Present paper deals with the Bombyliid fauna of Turkey, especially the eastern and
southern part of the country where the biological crossroad of Asia, Europe and Africa
meet. In the Palaearctic region, many genera of Bombyliidae are found around the
Mediterranean Sea (Images are predominantly heliophilic). Data on distribution of spe-
cies were taken from EVENHUIS & GREATHEAD (1999).
Results
The result of the present study is the identification of 187 species in 46 genera. Of which,
60 species and 7 genera are new for the Turkish fauna.
