Mihail Kechev

Abstract


Eleven species of Long-legged flies collected from two unstudied before localities in Bulgaria are presented in the current paper. The first locality is situated along the banks of the Yantra River (Northern Bulgaria) and the second one is in the Natural Park Sinita kamani (Southern Bulgaria). For Bulgaria the species Rhaphium laticorne (Fallèn) was found in Pancharevo near Sofia in 1912. Since then it has not been reported. The present paper gives the second locality of this species.
