Contribution to the Knowledge of <i>Chrysopilus</i> (Diptera: Rhagionidae) in Türkiye: First Record of <i>C. asiliformis</i>

Abstract In this study, Diptera specimens photographed during nature observations in Bartın and Sakarya of Türkiye provinces were initially identified as Chrysopilus asiliformis (Preyssler, 1791) based on their photographs. Subsequently, to confirm the identification microscopically, representative female and male specimens were collected and examined under a stereomicroscope. This finding represents the first record of C. asiliformis in the Turkish fauna.
