Abstract

In this contribution, data to 76 species and one subspecies are given: 29 species of Coleoptera (Buprestidae: 2, Carabidae: 9, Cerambycidae: 3, Chrysomelidae: 1, Coccinellidae: 1, Curculionidae: 2, Dytiscidae: 1, Geotrupidae: 1, Lucanidae: 1, Meloidae: 1, Scarabaeidae: 7), one species of Dermaptera (Forficulidae), 35 species of Diptera (Acroceridae: 1, Dryomyzidae: 1, Heleomyzidae: 1, Hippoboscidae: 1, Lauxaniidae: 7, Opomyzidae: 1, Sciomyzidae: 5, Stratiomyidae: 1, Tabanidae: 15 spp. and 1 ssp., Therevidae: 1), four species of Hemiptera (Cicadidae), six species of Hymenoptera (Apidae: 1, Megachilidae: 1, Scoliidae: 3, Vespidae: 1), one species of Mecoptera (Panorpidae), and one species of Neuroptera (Chrysopidae). Four species are reported as new for Bulgaria: Ogcodes guttatus A. Costa, 1854 (Diptera: Acroceridae), Calliopum simillimum (Collin, 1933), Meiosimyza rorida (Fallén, 1820) (all Diptera: Lauxaniidae), and Tetanocera hyalipennis von Roser, 1840 (Diptera: Sciomyzidae). Three species are reported with the first precisely located records for Bulgaria: Homoneura limnea (Becker, 1895), Minettia longipennis (Fabricius, 1794) (both Diptera: Lauxaniidae) and Tetanocera arrogans Meigen, 1830 (Diptera: Sciomyzidae). Other recorded species interesting from faunistic point of view are Dixus eremita (Dejean, 1825), Ophonus gabrieleae Wrase, 1987 (both Coleoptera: Carabidae), Thereva aurata Loew, 1854 (Diptera: Therevidae), and Megachile sculpturalis Smith, 1853 (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae).
