In this study, during our investigations of some families of Diptera Brachycera (e.g. Asilidae and Bombylidae) in Turkey in 1999-2011, we discovered there species which represent interesting additions to the Oxycera (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) fauna of Turkey. These species, Oxycera fallenii Staeger, 1844, Oxycera leonina (Panzer, 1798), and Oxycera muscaria (Fabricus, 1794), are recorded from Turkey for the first time. The females of O. fallenii and O. leonina, and a male of O. muscaria were shortly characterised and documented by photographs. The distribution of these species is briefly discussed. Each species represents a separate biogeographical element in Turkey and Palearctic region.

Türkiye’ de 1999-2011 yılları arasında Brachycera grubuna bağlı bazı sinek familyalarının (Asilidae ve Bombylidae) faunası üzerine yapılan çalışmalar esnasında, Stratiomyidae familyasından Oxycera cinsine ait üç tür tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen Oxycera fallenii Staeger, 1844, Oxycera leonina (Panzer, 1798) ve Oxycera muscaria (Fabricus, 1794) türleri Türkiye faunası için ilk kez kaydedilmişlerdir. O. fallenii ve O. leonina türlerine ait dişi bireyler ile O. muscaria türüne ait erkek bireyin karakteristik özellikleri kısaca anlatılmış ve bu örneklere ait fotoğraflar sunulmuştur. Bu üç türün yayılış alanları kısaca tartışılmıştır. Her türün Türkiye ve Palaearktik Bölgedeki biyocoğrafik dağlımı verilmiştir.
