Abstract: The paper presents information about 37 dolichopodid species, collected from 14 localities in Bulgaria. Five species (Medetera murina, Systenus scholtzi, Neurigona nubifera, Rhaphium antennatum and Sciapus bellus) are recorded for the first time for the fauna of Bulgaria. The species S. scholtzi is new to the Balkan Peninsula and the genus Systenus is a new genus of the family Dolichopodidae for the Bulgarian fauna.

Keywords: Bulgaria, Dolichopodidae, fauna, new records
