Abstract - A checklist of the hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) of Slovenia is compiled. Until now, the hoverfly fauna of Slovenia has been poorly known and existing information scattered in journals and collections throughout Europe. The checklist is based on records extracted from 35 articles and twelve collections, supplemented by two years of fieldwork. In total 274 species are listed, 109 of the subfamily Syrphinae, 162 of the Eristalinae and 3 of the Microdontinae.

Introduction
Adult hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) often resemble bees, wasps or bumblebees. The family includes species whose larvae are predatory, others whose larvae are phytophagous and many more with microphagous larvae. The various species inhabit

many different environments. In Europe more than 650 species of hoverfly exist, among which more than 450 can be found on the Balkan Peninsula . This high diversity is due to the high number of syrphid species endemic to the Balkan Peninsula. Every year hoverfly species new to science continue to be found here, because this region of Europe is relatively unexplored, entomologically.
Slovenia lies in the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula, between Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. Despite Slovenia’s small surface, it has a high biodiversity, because of the wide range of climatic conditions, geology and topography found in its territory. There are six phytogeographical regions in Slovenia: Sub Mediterranean, Dinaric, Alpine, Pre alpine, Pre dinaric and Sub Pannonian.
The great potential biodiversity in Slovenia has not until recently been recognized among dipterists. Studies of hoverflies have been sparse, but span more than 200 years. These studies tend to reflect the political situation in the territories of Slovenia. The first person who ever published about hoverflies in Slovene territories was Scopoli. However, few of his records can be traced back today, because his collection was destroyed in a fire. One century later, in the time of the Habsburg empire, Strobl (1893, 1894, 1909) published three voluminous works about the Diptera of the province of Steiermark. The southern part of Steiermark is nowadays in Slovenia and is called Otajerska (Styria). When, between 1920 and 1940, large parts of Slovenia became occupied by Italy, Italian entomologists collected in the western part of Slovenia, up to the vicinity of Postojna.
Between 1950 and 1970 several people went to the Balkan Peninsula: Lambeck’s visit is apparent from unpublished data in the Zoological museum in Amsterdam. These people stayed in Slovenia only for a few days in the area around Postojna. In the period of 1965 till 1968, I. Sivec collected a large of number of species in Slovenia. Maoek, who mainly focused on the hyponomological entomofauna, found Cheilosia fasciata and Cheilosia semifasciata as new to Slovenia. In 1972 Glumac (1972) made the first checklist of the hoverflies for the Balkan Peninsula. In it only 33 species were recorded for Slovenia .
In the nineties, Vujia and colleagues from Novi Sad published several articles on the hoverflies of the Balkan Peninsula, making in the process a significant contribution to knowledge of the fauna of Slovenia. Latterly, Slovenia has become more popular as a holiday destination and several entomologists have already visited the country, producing interesting records. The consequence of these various activities is that since the checklist of Glumac (1972) was published many new species have been recorded for Slovenia.
In this paper, we update the list of hoverfly species known, based on examination of available collections, literature review and additional fieldwork.
Materials and Methods
The material incorporated into the checklist was compiled from an extensive literature study, examination of collections in several museums and the results of intensive faunistic investigations in the years 2005 and 2006. In total 41 articles were found

which included mention of species of Syrphidae in the territories of Slovenia. The dates of these articles range from 1763 (Scopoli, 1763) to 2004 (De Groot 2004). In four reports or books Syrphidae were mentioned as a family of flies represented in Slovenia, but without reference to any species by name (Devetak et al 1977; Gregori et al 1984; Kopuoar 1997, Sivec et al 2003). Records derived from the work of Scopoli were only included in the checklist when they were also mentioned in other literature sources. Other data can not be checked, because the Scopoli collection was destroyed.
The following collections were visited: Slovene Museum of Natural History (SMNH), Museum of Natural History in Vienna (MNHV), Zoological Museum Amsterdam (ZMA), Museum of Natural History Naturalis in Leiden (NNM), Museum of Natural History Cardiff (MNHC), the Museum of Natural History in Trieste (Trieste) and the Zoological Collection of the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana (ZCBF). In addition, records from the private collections of Sander Bot (SB), Frank Dziock (FD), Dare Fekonja (DF), Maarten de Groot (MdG), Stanislav Gomboc (SG), Anne Jan Loonstra (AJL) and Jan H.C. Velterop (JV), from which SB, DF, MdG and SG were checked by the first author, were included in the checklist.
Furthermore, a faunistic survey was carried out in 2005 - 2006. In this period large parts of Slovenia were visited. For identification, Van Veen, Van de Goot and additional articles were used. Whenever an unknown specimen was found, an expert was consulted.
The taxonomy follows and nomenclature follows Syrph the Net and the database of world Diptera. As species names of the same species often change considerably over the years, or sibling species are found, several species names have been of necessity excluded from the list because of doubt as to which taxon they refer to. Synonyms were sourced from Peck, the database of world Diptera and other articles. Synonyms are referred to in Table 1 only in cases where there is only one known reference to the occurrence of a species in Slovenia, published under a name now recognized as a synonym.
Results and discussion
In total 274 species of hoverflies are listed for the fauna of Slovenia (Table 1). Among them 3 are from the subfamily Microdontidae, 109 from the subfamily Syrphinae and 162 from the subfamily Eristalinae. The larvae of 35.0 % of these species are known to be microphagous, 24.1 % phytophagous and 40.5 % zoophagous. For 0.4 % of the species the functional group to which the larvae belong is not yet known. In addition, the larvae of 18.4 % of the species depend on dead or dying wood.
Several names were omitted from the checklist, either because they could not be traced back, or there were new scientific insights into the distribution of the species or there was doubt about the identification of the material involved. Ten names were found not to be consistent with valid names (Table 2). These names could not be traced back via synonymy in the Diptera database or Peck (1988). It would be useful if the specimens on which these records are based could be re-located and their identity checked. Then there are species which had been recorded, but whose identi-
69

fication had to be regarded as doubtful or could not be traced back anymore. Merodon spinipes, Merodon spicata, Platycheirus transfugus and Spilomyia fusca (Sivec et al 2003) are species still requiring verification. In the museum of Natural History in Vienna a specimen determined as Cheilosia faucis was found, collected by Strobl. However, the specimen was covered with mould and could therefore not be identified anymore. A specimen of Platycheirus aurolateralis from “Monte Anagiore” was found, this locality name probably being a misspelling of Monte Maggiore (Uoka, in Croatia) and is also omitted from the list. The specimens of Xylota caeruleiventris in Milankov et al. (1995) were published prior to the revision of X. caeruleiventris/jakutorum by Bartsch et al. (2002). Therefore a revision is needed for all X. caeruleiventris specimens by Milankov et al. (1995).
The records based on specimens examined range from 1893 to 2006. The composition of the present-day syrphid fauna of Slovenia is likely to be different from the composition of the syrphid fauna of 100 years ago, due to both land-use changes that have occurred in the intervening period and the onset of climatic change that has begun to take effect recently. For example, over the last 40 years species composition changed noticeably in the Netherlands due to climate change . Further, as a consequence of the land use changes in Slovenia over the last decades there has been an increase in forest coverage resulting in 55% of the land surface now being forested. Changes in forest management can also influence the species composition greatly. Agricultural use of land has also intensified in the last decades. In consequence, some of the syrphid species recorded previously, and listed in Table 1, may no longer occur in Slovenia. In comparison with other European countries, the 264 species listed for Slovenia is a low number. Well surveyed countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain and Italy have 315, 460, 267 and 488 species respectively. It would not be surprising if further survey demonstrates that the number of species in Slovenia exceeds the number of species known for the Netherlands.
But where can we find these additional species? They could be expected from survey high in the Alps and in the sub Mediterranean coast, in particular. In addition the south Eastern part (Bela krajina), Eastern part (Dolenjska) and the Northern part (Pohorje) of Slovenia are all under-recorded areas. Furthermore, the early spring species are lacking from the checklist. There are also two other major collections potentially holding Slovenian material, the Strobl collection in Admont and the collection of the university in Novi Sad, that have yet to be examined, and it is hoped that these collections can be checked in the forthcoming years.
In conclusion, 35 years after the publication of the checklist by Glumac (1972) 237 species were added to the Slovene fauna. Therefore Slovenia has, with 270 species, already a rich hoverfly fauna for such a small country. Nevertheless, several new species are still expected to be found.
