Abstract

The first entomological study of hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) from
Kopački rit Nature Park was carried out during 2007 and 2008. This research was carried out in different habitats (inundated, forest, agricultural, open ground) in wetlands. The specimens were sampled with an entomological net. A total of 347 specimens were collected. From collected specimens, 39 species of hoverflies were identified, among them six species recorded for the first time in Croatia: Callicera spinolae (Rondani, 1844) (first record on the Balkan
Peninsula), Xanthogramma laetum (Fabricius, 1794), Eupeodes lapponicus (Zetterstedt, 1838), Paragus pecchiolii (Rondani, 1857), Syrphus torvus (Osten Sacken, 1875), Chrysotoxum verralli (Collin, 1940). Because of specific ecological conditions of Kopački rit, which provide for the development of numerous and diverse forms plant and animal life, it is realistic to expect that this is not the final number of species.
