Abstract:

Six species belonging to the families Conopidae, Psilidae and Syrphidae (Diptera) are here recorded for the first time from Portugal. Three genera are also new to the country: Brachypalpus Macquart, 1834 (Syrphidae), Imantimyia Frey, 1925 and Loxocera Meigen, 1803 (Psilidae). Furthermore, Chyliza annulipes Macquart, 1835 is here recorded from Iberia for the first time. A key to distinguish the closely related species Imantimyia albiseta (Schrank, 1803) and Loxocera aristata (Panzer, 1801) is provided. Key
