A preliminary list of Sciomyzidae (Diptera) of Dagestan

Abstract

We offer the first report on the fauna of Sciomyzidae of the Republic of Dagestan. Our list is based on several collecting trips in 2021–2023 and studying of Sciomyzidae material at the Zoological Institute of Saint Petersburg. Totally, 25 Dagestan species are reported. We believe that this is quite a lot for a southern region, where Sciomyzidae are not as diverse as in the temperate zone. For the subspecies Coremacera marginata pontica Elberg, 1968, we investigated the type series, which turned out to be labeled partly incompletely and partly under another name.
