Abstract
We report Myathropa semenovi (Smirnov, 1925) for the first time from India. This species was previously known from Central Asia and adjacent parts of Siberia. Recently collected specimens from the Kashmir Himalayas of India represent the first reported occurrence of this flower fly genus from India. Images and diagnosis are provided to help with the identification of this species.
