Abstract
This paper presents 58 new records of the family Dolichopodidae for Bulgaria, Montenegro, North Macedonia and European part of Turkey, collected from 37 localities. Seventeen species are recorded for the first time from Bulgaria, six of which are new to the Balkan Peninsula, 23 species for European Turkey, three of which are new to the entire territory of Turkey, seven species for Montenegro and 11 species for North Macedonia. A checklist of the Dolichopodidae of the Balkan Peninsula is provided. The total number of dolichopodids of the Balkan Peninsula is currently raised to 288 species.
