Abstract

Neria cibaria (Linnaeus, 1761) is a micropezid fly species distributed in the western part of the Palaearctic Region in areas where the habitat is suitable, such as moist woodlands, streams and rivers. The species was recorded, for the first time in Türkiye, from two different provinces, Bartın and Sakarya, located on the Black Sea coast of Türkiye. Originally this fly was photographed without collection and identified from the photographs taken. Afterwards, five specimens were collected in the same areas and identified under a stereo microscope using relevant literature. These records represent a new southeasternmost distribution limit of N. cibaria in the Palaearctic Region.
