Abstract
Weekly field trips to collect beeflies were conducted from October 2001 to
November 2002. More than 870 specimens from 73 localities were collected.
Specimens of Bombyliidae collected previously from Jordan and preserved in the
University of Jordan Insects Museum as well as other Jordanian collections were
also studied. The specimens were found to belong to 131 species in 42 genera and
eight subfamilies. Of these, 124 species are recorded for the first time. Keys
for the identification of subfamilies, tribes, genera, subgenera and species
recorded in Jordan were constructed and provided with the necessary
illustrations. For each species, the valid name, synonymy list, distribution in
the world, collecting sites and dates in Jordan, color photographs of the entire
specimen, original drawings of wing venation, were provided.
