This paper provides distributional records for 18 long-legged fly species (Diptera, Brachycera, Dolichopodidae) belonging to 12 genera in Morocco. Four of these species (Diaphorus vitripennis Loew, 1859, Muscidideicus praetextatus (Haliday, 1855), Aphrosylus mitis Verrall, 1912 and Micromorphus aff. minusculus Negrobov, 2000) are newly recorded in the fauna of Morocco. In addition, available data on geographical distribution for each species is presented.
