“…Since then some groups of Muscidae have been reviewed and the validity of some species and the assignments to genera or even subfamilies have been changed, e. g. see the Manual of Central European Muscidae (Gregor et al, 2016). In addition, 22 muscid species and one genus have been recorded as new from Bulgaria (Zielke, 2016a(Zielke, , 2016b(Zielke, , 2017). Apart from a recently captured Limnophora species (Zielke, 2017) all other newly reported species belong to the subfamilies Mydaeinae and Phaoniinae.…”

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.

The current study was conducted during the year 2020 in some areas of the holy Kerbala governorate with the aim of diagnosing some species of insects of environmental and biological importance and knowing their distribution and the time of occurrence during seasons. The results showed that the species Limnophora obsignata (Rondani, 1866) (Muscidae: Coenosiinae) was recorded for the first time in Iraq. It was found that throughout the study period, this species was more frequently found in river habitats and seasons with moderate temperatures and humidity (spring and autumn). The external appearance of this species was described, as well as the anatomy of the male reproductive system of the samples.
