A short characteristic of the genus Elgiva Meigen, 1838 is given. On the basis of the material stored in Russian collections, the data on distribution of its species in the territory from East Europe to the Far East of Asia are significantly updated. A new synonym is proposed: Elgiva solicita Harris, 1780 = E. manchurica Rozkosny et Knutson, 1991, syn. nov. A new identification key for Palaearctic Elgiva is proposed. The Nearctic fauna of Elgiva is also discussed. In authors’ opinion, all species of Elgiva described from America are closely related to E. divisa if not the same. So, we consider E. connexa a subspecies of E. divisa connexa Steyskal, 1954.
