Abstract

During recent surveys conducted in Morocco, many species of Dolichopodidae (Diptera, Brachycera) new for the country have been collected. In this paper a review of Moroccan Sciapus Zeller, 1842 fauna is given. Sciapus heteropygus Parent, 1926 and S. holoxanthos Parent, 1926 are found in the country for the first time. An annotated checklist of Moroccan fauna is compiled, including 9 species. In addition, available information on geographical distribution for each species is included.
