Resumo

A commented and updated checklist of the hoverflies from the Mascarene island of Réunion, France, is presented. A total of 22 species are listed. New data on eight species are provided, two of them new to Réunion: Syritta austeni Bezzi, 1915 and Eristalinus madagascariensis (Hervé-Bazin, 1914). Réunion has 14 species shared with Madagascar and 10 with Mauritius. The present study contributes to better understand the biodiversity of this part of the world.

Neus Estela’s stay on Réunion was thanks to the ERASMUS scholarship program (University of Alicante) and was funded by the Spanish ‘Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia’.
