Hoverflies are a conspicuous and popular family within the Diptera. The larvae as well as the adults are able to colonize a wide range of habitats, and many species play important roles as pollinators, in pest management and nowadays in applied nature conservation issues. Despite of this, the state of knowledge on the hoverflies of Austria is deficient: Available literature is outdated in systematics and the species inventory is obviously incomplete. These facts led us to study the Austrian hoverfly fauna in more detail. Syrphidae records from an extensive literature search, additional unpublished data from museum collections and data from own fieldwork were compiled to build a comprehensive checklist of Austrian hoverflies. The species distributions are given by federal state in order to retain a precise overview of this Diptera group. The framework of this research is based on 20520 records and in total, 271957 individuals. The checklist includes 430 confirmed species. An additional 25 hoverfly species are discussed but not included in the list. These are species for which it is unclear if the locality lies within the present borders of Austria, or whose voucher specimens were not available for re-examination. In total 17 hoverfly species are new to Austria: Anasimyia contracta Claussen Torp, 1980; Brachyopa grunewaldensis Kassebeer 2000; Brachyopa obscura Thompson Torp, 1982; Brachyopa silviae Doczkal Dziock, 2004; Cheilosia orthotricha Vuji Claussen, 1994; Eristalis picea (Falln, 1817); Melangyna ericarum (Collin, 1946); Melangyna lucifera Nielsen, 1980; Melangyna pavlovskyi Violovitsh, 1956; Melanogaster curvistylus Vuji Stuke, 1998; Merodon moenium (Wiedemann, 1822); Paragus absidatus Goeldlin, 1971; Paragus bradescui Stanescu, 1981; Platycheirus laskai (Nielsen, 1999); Sphegina verecunda Collin, 1937; Temnostoma angustistriatum Krivosheina, 2002 and Temnostoma meridionale Krivosheina Mamayev, 1962. In addition, 278 first records for several Austrian federal states are published. With 331 species, Styria currently hosts the largest number of documented species per federal state, followed by Lower Austria (307 spp.), Upper Austria (269 spp.), Carinthia (259 spp.), Vorarlberg (234 spp.), Burgenland (201 spp.), North Tyrol (172 spp.), Vienna (169 spp.), Salzburg (155 spp.) and Eastern Tyrol (154 spp.).
食蚜蝇是双翅目引人注目的一个大家族。其幼虫和成虫都能够在广泛的栖息地中生存，许多物种作为传粉媒介、在害虫管理以及当今的应用自然保护问题上都发挥着重要作用。尽管如此，奥地利食蚜蝇的知识状况仍存在缺陷：现有的文献在系统学上已经过时，物种名录显然也不完整。这些事实促使我们更详细地研究奥地利食蚜蝇区系。通过广泛的文献搜索、博物馆收藏的未发表数据以及我们自己的实地调查数据，编制了奥地利食蚜蝇综合名录。根据联邦州给出的物种分布情况，以便准确了解这一目的双翅目昆虫群。本研究的框架基于 20520 条记录和总共 271957 只个体。名录包括 430 种已确认的物种。另外讨论了 25 种食蚜蝇，但未列入清单。这些物种的产地是否在奥地利现有的边界内尚不清楚，或者其凭证标本无法进行重新检查。奥地利共有 17 种新的食蚜蝇：Anasimyia contracta Claussen Torp, 1980；Brachyopa grunewaldensis Kassebeer 2000；Brachyopa obscura Thompson Torp, 1982；Brachyopa silviae Doczkal Dziock, 2004；Cheilosia orthotricha Vuji Claussen, 1994；Eristalis picea (Falln, 1817)；Melangyna ericarum (Collin, 1946)；Melangyna lucifera Nielsen, 1980；Melangyna pavlovskyi Violovitsh, 1956；Melanogaster curvistylus Vuji Stuke, 1998；Merodon moenium (Wiedemann, 1822)；Paragus absidatus Goeldlin, 1971；Paragus bradescui Stanescu, 1981；Platycheirus laskai (Nielsen, 1999)；Sphegina verecunda Collin, 1937；Temnostoma angustistriatum Krivosheina, 2002 和 Temnostoma meridionale Krivosheina Mamayev, 1962。此外，还公布了奥地利几个联邦州的 278 条首次记录。施蒂里亚州目前拥有 331 种记录物种，是联邦州中记录物种最多的州，其次是下奥地利州（307 种）、上奥地利州（269 种）、卡林西亚州（259 种）、福拉尔贝格州（234 种）、布尔根兰州（201 种）、北蒂罗尔州（172 种）、维也纳州（169 种）、萨尔茨堡州（155 种）和东蒂罗尔州（154 种）。
