abstract
Data on the distribution in Bulgaria are presented for Azeliinae species belonging to the genera Achanthiptera Rondani, 1856 (1 species), Azelia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (3 species), Drymeia Meigen, 1826 (3 species), Muscina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (4 species) and Thricops Rondani, 1856 (12 species). Azelia nebulosa Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 and Thricops diaphanus (Wiedemann, 1817) are reported from Bulgaria for the first time and Thricops beckeri (Pokorny, 1893) is not only new to Bulgaria, but also to the Balkan Peninsula as well as to Eastern and South-eastern Europe. Apart the species of the genus Hydrotaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, the total number of species of the subfamily Azeliinae which are known from the country, reaches now 32 species. The results are summarized in a table and compared with corresponding data of the neighbouring countries.
