Three new Phaoniini species collected in treetops in north-western Bulgaria (Diptera: Muscidae)

Three new species, Helina quercusa spec. nov., Phaonia canopya spec. nov. and Phaonia pinusa spec. nov. are described new to science from Bulgaria. The Helina species originate from the treetop of an oak tree, and the Phaonia specimens were collected from a pine and a plum tree, respectively. It is also suggested how the three species can be integrated into the most current identification key available for Helina and Phaonia species from Europe.
