Abstract
Based on the author’s own and the literature data, the zoogeographic analysis of robber flies (Asilidae) of the Lower Volga area was carried out for the first time. A total of 21 range types were distinguished and the fractions of different chorological groups in the fauna were determined. The zoogeographic structure of faunal complexes of robber flies inhabiting biotopes with different plant associations was studied.
