dc.description.abstract: The adults of the Empidid flies are small to medium-sized, usually shiny black or densely grey dusted species. Theadults are very important in pollination because they are flower visitors. Turkey has a wide variety of habitats and speciesdiversity. Although it seems to consist mostly of flat plains, mountainous regions are also found in the east and northeast parts.For this reason, species diversity has increased. Siirt province is rich in steppe but forests cover less space and the summersare quite hot and arid. Siirt also has variable elevation and this positively affects species diversity. This study was carried outin Siirt between 2014-2016. Specimens were collected from different habitats with using a hand net. As a result of the fieldstudies, 15 empidid species were determined in Siirt Province. Among these 15 species, five species belong to the genusHilara and ten species belong to the genus Empis. And also, Hilara clavidipes Chvála, 2008, H. freidbergi Chvála, 2008 andH. fusitibia Strobl, 1899 are new records for the Turkish fauna. When we compare the species number of the Empididae familyfrom the world and Europe, the number of the known species from Turkey is relatively low, thus constituting the idea thatTurkey should be better screened with local faunistic studies.
