Abstract: In 1984, between the 1st and the 24th of May, the author spent almost a month in Turkey with three colleagues to collect hoverfly species. The field work took 22 days in the western half of the Turkey covering 53 different locations. During this time 157 hoverfly species were collected. Based on the Syrphidae checklist of Turkey (Saribiyik 2011) 24 new taxa were detected.

Keywords: Diptera, Syrphidae (hoverfly), Turkey Introduction The author spent 22 days in the Western part of Turkey with three entomologist colleagues in 1984 to collect hoverfly species. The expedition took part from the 1st of May until the 24th May. The main aim was to study Diptera, Syrphidae fauna from the fau- nistical point of view. The rest of the group collected insects, and sometimes even caught hoverflies. Except for a few hours spent with tourism in the area, we spent a total of 22 days with field working. During this time, roughly 53 areas of the western half of the country (Fig. 1) were visited. Material and methods The published material was mainly recorded by the author with insect nets. Identification was completed with the help of the following publications: Stackelberg (1970), Stubbs & Falk (1983), Van Veen (2004), Barkalov & StAhls (1997),
