The first checklist of the Dolichopodidae of Israel and adjacent territories (Golan Heights and West Bank) is presented. A total of 108 species belonging to 34 genera are listed alphabetically. The references, type locality and general distribution are provided for each species.
Key words: Diptera; Dolichopodidae; Palearctic Region; Israel; checklist; fauna
Introduction
The dolichopodid fauna of the East-Mediterranean countries was until recently poorly studied (Negrobov, 1991). A checklist of long-legged flies of the Caucasus and East Mediterranean Basin as a whole included more than 500 species (Grichanov, 2007a), of which 263 species were known from Romania (Parvu, 2002). The rapid progress has been made during the last decade in studying fauna of the Russian Caucasus, Bulgaria, Iran, Israel and Turkey. The number of known species has reached recently to more than 220 species for the Russian North-Western Caucasus (Grichanov, 2012), about 190 species for Turkey (Tongug et al., 2016), about 170 species for Bulgaria (Kechev, Ivanova, 2015) and about 150 species for Iran (Grichanov et al., 2017).
The Israeli fauna of Dolichopodidae has never been generalised in one list. Three species have been described from this country before my works, i.e. Dolichopus syriacus Becker, 1917, Sciapus judaeus Parent, 1932, and Aphrosylus schumanni Negrobov, 1979. Three short lists of the collected material have been also published (Bodenheimer, 1937, and Parvu, 1996, 1997). F.S. Bodenheimer listed 12 species of Dolichopodidae for "Palestine", giving no information about collectors, collection sites and depository. I consider this paper as dealing with fauna of Israel and adjacent territories. Some of these records need confirmation. In all, 27 species of Dolichopodidae have been recorded from Israel before the beginning of my research in 2000. A. Freidberg (1988) suspected that the dolichopodid fauna of Israel might contain about 100 species.

Conclusion
As a result of the last two-decade investigation, a new material of Dolichopodidae was collected, identified and published in many papers; and the Israeli fauna reached to 108 species listed above. The study of the dolichopodid fauna of Israel is not finished. Several more small-sized species from unrevised genera or species groups in my hands are still awaiting description, being probably endemics to the eastern Mediterranean. There are some unverified records of Dolichopodidae from the territory (e.g., Grichanov, 2007a) and they must be confirmed. Nevertheless, an annotated checklist of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) of Israel and adjacent territories (Golan Heights and West Bank) seems worth publishing in order to facilitate future preparation of regional catalogs, keys and faunas.
At present, Sciapus with its 14 known species is the most species-rich genus in the country, followed by Medetera (12 species) and Dolichopus (10 species). Whether or not Arabshamshevia and Shamshevia Grichanov, 2012, are synonymic names (Grichanov, 2016), this is the only case of recording a non-Palaearctic dolichopodid genus in Israel. Fourteen species are now conditional endemics of this territory.
