Eupachygaster tarsalis (Zetterstedt, 1842) is recorded from Ukraine for the first time. Two more species,
Berkshiria hungarica (Kerte´sz, 1921) and Neopachygaster meromelaena (Dufour, 1841) were found for

Introduction
Pachygasterinae is a large subfamily of Stratiomyidae, especially abundant in tropical regions of all
continents. Nine species are known from Europe (Rozkosvny´, 1983; Krivosheina, Rozkosvny´, 1985). The
Pachygasterinae fauna of Ukraine is poorly and fragmentarily studied. Only five species were recorded from
its territory until now (Nartshuk, Berezovsky, 1992, 1997; Mamaev et al., 1977; Krivosheina, Rozkosvny´, 1985;
Lezhenina, 2002), four of them were recorded based upon few specimens.
The larvae of Pachygasterinae feed upon tree bark. Their biology, morphology as well as the keys for
identification are given by Rozkosvny´ (1983) and Mamaev et al. (1977).
In 1997–2003 Dr. Valery Korneyev and the author collected in parks in Kyiv and reared from rotting
poplar bark more than thirty specimens of flies, which belong to the subfamily Pachygasterinae. Some species
were found to be previously unknown or little known in Ukraine.
Material and methods
The material was identified with the keys to European soldier flies (Rozkosvny´, 1983). Distribution is
given after Rozkosvny´ (1983) and Woodley (2001). The material examined is deposited in the collection of
the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the NAS of Ukraine.
Results
Including the recent finds, there are six species of Pachygasterinae known from Ukraine: Berkshiria
hungarica (Kerte´sz, 1921), Neopachygaster meromelaena (Dufour, 1841), Pachygaster atra (Panzer, 1798),
P. leachii (Curtis, 1824), Zabrachia tenella (Jaennicke, 1866) and Eupachygaster tarsalis (Zetterstedt, 1842).
The latter was known only from neighbouring countries (Rozkosvny´´, 1983; Woodley, 2001). Also the species
widespread in Western and Central Europe and in European part of Russia, namely Zabrachia minutissima
(Zetterstedt, 1938) is very probable to be found here.

In view of changes of nomenclature and of that the material on distribution was greatly supplemented
since the edition of “The Keys to Insects of the European Part of the USSR” (Nartshuk, 1969), short
descriptions, actual data on distribution of the species known from Ukraine are given. Also there is a key for
the species of the subfamily inhabiting Ukraine and neighbouring countries.
