Abstract
The fauna and ecological features of the hoverflies of the Hissar Range have been studied. 127 species have been identified in the studied area, 45 of which have been discovered for the first time in the entire or part of the studied area. The Eristalinae subfamily is the most abundant, with 19 genera and 75 species. The genus Eumerus is the most numerous, with 23 species. It appears that the mountains of Central Asia are one of the centers of species diversity for this genus.
