The distribution of the species in the Palaearctic Region is discussed. Photographs of all species are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new species of soldier flies (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), Adoxomyia hasbenlii sp. nov., is described from Turkey. The characters of the new species were examined and photos are presented, and the species-specific male terminalia is illustrated and compared with related species, Adoxomyia variabilis Krivosheina, 2016, and Adoxomyia ruficornis (Loew, 1873). An identification key to the related species of Adoxomyia is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Both sexes of the first 3 species and the male of A . sarudnyi are redescribed and photographs of all species are provided. The distributions of all species are briefly discussed. The male genitalia and some other diagnostic characters of all the examined species are illustrated. An identification key to all East-Mediterranean species was constructed and is included in this report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
