Abstract: Achanthiptera rohrelliformis (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) and Hydrotaea aenescens (Wiedemann, 1830), two species of the subfamily Azeliinae (Muscidae), are recorded for the first time from Bulgaria, although they have been already collected around 1908 and 1973, respectively. Due to the fact that the specimen of A. rohrelliformis has not been determined earlier and that males and females of H. aenescens have been erroneously assigned to Ophyra leucostoma (Wiedemann, 1817), the findings of the two species, new to the muscid fauna from Bulgaria and the Balkan Peninsula, are only reported now.
Keywords: Azeliinae, Achanthiptera rohrelliformis, Hydrotaea aenescens, new records, Bulgaria, Balkan countries
