Abstract

A new species of soldier flies (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), Adoxomyia begreliensis sp. nov., based on a male and a female from the Gevne Valley in Turkey is described. The new species characterized by bicolored legs and the species-specific male terminalia is illustrated and compared with related species. Adoxomyia palaestinensis Lindner, 1937 is recorded from Turkey for the first time. An identification key to all East-Mediterranean species of Adoxomyia has been constructed and is presented.
