Abstract

Previous records of Bombyliidae from the islands of Sokotra and Abd-el-Kuri are summarised. Recently collected specimens are identified. The family Mythicomyiidae is recorded from Sokotra for the first time and two species of Empidideicus, E. socotrae and E. variegatus, are described as new; the Phthiria sp. previously reported from Sokotra is described as P. socotrae. There are now a total of 16 named species of Bombylioidea identified from the islands, of which 12 are believed to be endemic.
